Domaine des Lambrays is one of Morey-Saint-Denis’s finest estates, whose history is closely tied to the Grand Cru from which it takes its name – Clos des Lambrays. The 8.84-hectare property was acquired by the LVMH Group in 2014, joining their impressive fine wine portfolio that already includes Krug, Dom Pérignon, Château d’Yquem and Cheval Blanc. This release is from 1996, an outstanding year for Burgundy, which produced a large crop of extremely healthy grapes, with excellent acidity and deep colour.

The 1996 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru from Domaine des Lambrays is a wine that I panned when I tasted a magnum in 2018. This bottle was far superior, virtually a different wine. Mature on the nose, and still a little green, it gains complexity and reveals garrigue and star anise aromas, plus touches of burning embers/ash. Fleshy and balanced on the palate with a dash of white pepper, it has a very tertiary finish and feels evolved for a 1996 red Burgundy, yet undoubtedly this was a far better showing than the previous one.
