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 particular release is from 2005, a legendary vintage which is in very high demand.

Vinous
Medium red; the fullest color to this point. Knockout nose combines black raspberry, blueberry, licorice, espresso, wild herbs and underbrush complemented by mocha and meat nuances. Wonderfully broad and rich on entry, then powerful and penetrating in the mid-palate, with its very ripe dark fruit, mocha and espresso flavors accented and enlivened by black pepper, crushed rock and dusty herbs. Not quite opulent or thick but densely packed. Finishes classically dry and youthfully backward, spreading out to saturate the palate with a serious dusting of tannins. This wine's fruit is developing nicely but it would appear to have the backbone for a graceful evolution in bottle. In fact, the wine's tannic structure reminded me a bit of Cabernet.
