Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2018
Domaine des Lambrays
Vintage 2018 : (93 - 95)+/100 Parker
Reviewed by William Kelley on January 9, 2020 :
"The Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2018 shows itself very well, with notes of blackcurrant, ripe wild berries, dark chocolate, dark truffles, roasted squab and rich earth tones. On the palate, it is full-bodied, multidimensional and elegant, with refined structural tannins, lively acids and good concentration. It is a deep and complete Clos des Lambrays that has been vinified with 80% whole bunches and aged in 50% new oak barrels. With 13.6% alcohol, it is very well balanced and seems to be the best interpretation of this quasi-monopoly since at least 2015".
Presentation of the wine : Issued from the quasi-monopoly of the domain on this Grand Cru, the Clos des Lambrays of Domaine des Lambrays is vast on the scale of Burgundy. The plot is far from being homogeneous, its gentle slopes offer a diversity of exposures important for the complexity of the wine. The top of the Clos is more marly while the bottom mixes clay and limestone. The wine is matured in the cellars of the Domaine, in oak barrels, half of which are renewed each vintage. The Clos des Lambrays is the heart of the Domaine des Lambrays. That is why this site is largely dedicated to it.
