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.
