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.
