Clos des Lambrays, Grand Cru, 2015
Very pure and so surprisingly fresh. Juicy, clear fruits - predominantly red berries and loganberries bright and light with a dark touch and hints of salt and mineral. Complex and velvety, this is faithful to the gentle Clos des Lambrays style whilst offering a touch of 2015’s sunshine. What is not to like? Whole bunch fermented and aged in 50% new oak barriques.
critic reviews
The 2015 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru has a pure, utterly seductive bouquet of raspberry coulis, wild strawberry, crushed stone and seamlessly integrated new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins - a serious Grand Cru that has closed up in recent months. Foursquare, distant and aloof - but maybe that is what you seek at this stage? Not enjoyable but certainly a quality-driven wine that needs a decade in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
