Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2022 is an extraordinary expression of one of Burgundy's most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Morey-Saint-Denis. Produced from 100% Pinot Noir and crafted using 80% whole-cluster fermentation, this remarkable vintage captures the elegance, precision and remarkable ageing potential that have made Clos des Lambrays one of the Côte de Nuits' most sought-after wines. Certified organic and produced in the estate's new winery, the 2022 vintage showcases exceptional purity, finesse and terroir-driven complexity. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, revealing layers of ripe cherry, blackberry, mulberry and wild plum, intertwined with violets, rose petals, forest floor, moss, sandalwood and exotic spices. On the palate, it is silky yet remarkably structured, combining vibrant red and dark berry fruit with refined minerality, fresh acidity and beautifully integrated tannins. Despite its graceful, airy character, the wine possesses impressive depth, concentration and a seemingly endless finish, promising decades of evolution in the cellar.

A stunning wine marked by finesse and delicacy. This is ethereal but also deep, with moss and mineral aromas followed by delicate yet naturally racy sweet berries, decadent roses, spices and forest floor. Almost full-bodied for a pinot, but this is much more about texture than anything else. Tense, round and elastic, with a ripe but minerally finish that expands at the end and goes on and on. Real depth in an airy, super-delicate way. 80% whole bunches and 20% new oak barrels. So good to drink now, but this is age-worthy and is likely to morph into something stunning in a decade.

The 2022 Clos des Lambrays contains 80% whole bunches (100% in the very old vines, a lower proportion elsewhere). A fine even deep ruby purple. The bouquet is backward with still a suggested intensity of fruit that can easily cope with the stems. Beautifully suave with an enveloping dark red fruit, a very graceful finish on silky, refined tannins, and we don’t often say silky for Morey St Denis. They are caressing, according to Jacques. The floral touch works throughout, beautifully long and sensual. Drink from 2032. Tasted Nov 2023.

Though well-marked by new oak for now, this red features ripe cherry, blackberry, violet, sandalwood and mineral aromas and flavors. Silky and elegant, yet there's underlying intensity and power. Harmonious in its youth, with its full potential and pedigree on display on the long, detailed aftertaste. Best from 2029 through 2050. 422 cases imported.

Although the colour is not as deep as the 2019, the mulberry and plum fruit aromas are every bit as intense, with hints of violets, spice and earth. The texture is tightly wound and vigorous, with impressive density, tannic grip and length. 2022 was the fourth year of organic production, now certified, and the first made in the new winery. The grapes were picked from 1-6 September; 80% were fermented as whole clusters to produce another superb wine with immense ageing potential.
