Clos des Lambrays Grand cru red
- 2021
- Clos des Lambrays grand cru
A grand cru with an almost monopoly, Clos des Lambrays is one of the best exposed terroirs on the Côte de Nuits, combining the power of a Chambertin with the velvety character of a Bonnes-Mares. Bought in 2014 by L.V.M.H. and still rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.
The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): Coup de ♥ 97/100 “With its sharp flavors, the attack presents tension, supporting a magnificent ample and dynamic flesh where licorice and noble earthy flavors compose a tasty and distinguished whole, without the slightest hardness.”
Vinous (N. Martin - November 2023): 97/100 “The Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2021 continues to impress [...]. The palate is medium-bodied, with a fresh, perfectly balanced entry. Notes of cedar and sage develop, the tannins are softer than when I tasted this wine in barrel, and the finish is piquant. Remarkable.”
*Tasted in November 2023, the 2021 vintage achieved the second-highest score in a vertical offering 10 vintages of Clos des Lambrays, ranging from 1923 to 2021.

The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (March 2024 ): 98+/100 “Cherry core and sweet spices, firm but nuanced, straightforward and straightforward, silky tannins in this dynamic wine, with fine-tuned flavors, carried by a very persistent blast on the finish. Magnificent integration of the whole harvest."
Vinous (N.Martin - January 2024): 96-98/100 “The 2022 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is a blend of 11 different cuvées and includes, for the first time, the plot of "30 Rangs". This vintage includes 80% whole bunches, and like La Richemoine, it is deftly subsumed on the nose, which blossoms with vivacious red berry fruit, forest floor, white truffle, and light autumn leaf scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a svelte Clos des Lambrays with a slightly chalky, mineral-rich finish. Very tender and complex, this is undoubtedly a great wine with a long-term future.”
