Nice red ruby color. The nose is intense and exuberant with many different perfumes: fruits, florals (old roses), spices, and herbal notes (dried herbs, tobacco, and tea). This is a very complex wine that evolves in the glass. The mouth is rich and dense but very elegant as well. The concentration is obvious, but the wine is gentle and caresses the palate. Even with the power of the 2019 vintage, the delicacy, and the feminine personality of the Clos des Lambrays finally takes over. This bottle will age for decades.
At the heart and the estate visitors will find… the eponymous Clos. There are also two plots of the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru and four plots of the Morey-Saint-Denis village, all of them planted with Pinot noir. With the acquisition of a few “ouvrees” of Chardonnay of two “Climats” classified as Premier Cru in Puligny-Montrachet, les Folatieres and the Clos du Cailleret, the estate is now complete.
The estate also boasts a castle and its ancient cellar, dating back to the seventeenth century, and of one of the most beautiful gardens of the region. The garden features a three hundred year old cedar as well as orchids and a collection of roses. This classical beauty of the grounds contribute heavily to the wine’s aesthetic qualities.
