Clos Des Lambrays Grand Cru, Domaine Des Lambrays 2014 Wine (75cl)

The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Clos des Lambrays is one of Burgundy's great monopoles — a single, walled 8.66-hectare Grand Cru owned almost entirely by Domaine des Lambrays, sitting between Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny. It was only elevated to Grand Cru status in 1981, making it the youngest of the Côte de Nuits Grands Crus, which gives it a slightly underdog quality that we rather enjoy. The 2014 vintage was a quiet triumph across the Côte d'Or: cool growing conditions produced wines of genuine precision and freshness rather than weight, and Lambrays handled it beautifully — sorry, we mean with real distinction. This is Pinot Noir at its most Morey-like: red cherry, dried rose petals, a hint of game, and that signature iron-threaded minerality running through the palate like a fine wire. The tannins are silky but present, the acidity bright and focused.
