Domaine Des Lambrays Morey Saint Denis 2018

Domaine de Lambrays is one of the oldest estates in Burgundy, dating back to the 14th century. Most experts agree that Domaine des Lambrays wines are considered to be rare. They are in great demand all over the world, they are sort of the emissaries of Burgundy. They are sold in France in the best restaurants, as well as in the most sophisticated wine boutiques. Today the winery belongs to the LVMH group.

Classic delicate Morey on the nose, peppery dark fruit and lightly floral. Cool, dark-red fruit, riper and sweeter on the palate, silky texture and finishes with scented freshness. A beauty with both richness and finesse. Tannins already smooth but just right for the shape of the wine. Mouth-watering finish. Comes full circle. Their new technical director Jacques Devauges says the Morey village wine ages very well, if you can resist the temptation to drink it. 17/20 points Julia Harding, JancisRobinson.com

The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Village comes from two parcels at the top of Clos des Lambrays where the soil is very shallow, and is completely de-stemmed. It has a bright bouquet of black cherries and blueberry fruit, simple but full of energy. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe tannins and moderate acidity, and lightly spiced with a touch of white pepper on the finish.’’ Burghound
