Clos des Lambrays Domaine des Lambrays 2012 presents a complex profile typical of Burgundy`s esteemed Grand Cru wines. The nose reveals a nuanced bouquet with earthy undertones and a blend of dark fruits, alongside subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, characterised by firm tannins and a well-structured mouthfeel. The finish is slightly austere, suggesting further development potential. This estate, a monopole, has been producing wine since the 19th century, with a commitment to expressing the diverse terroir of the Cote de Nuits. Its evolution in bottle merits careful observation.

Vinous
Moderately saturated medium red. Wild, very ripe aromas of black raspberry, blueberry, mocha, cola, leather and game are surprisingly explosive for the vintage. Impressively rich and dense, offering flavors of pungent black fruits, loam and peppery spices, plus a whiff of cinders. A real essence of Morey-Saint-Denis with its combination of dark fruits and soil tones. Impressively plush and horizontal on the palate but with the pepper and spice notes providing superb mid-palate lift. Finishes very long, with substantial dusty tannins that avoid dryness. Robust more than elegant, this wine tastes like it just came out of the barrel. Indeed, it quickly went back into a shell in the glass, suggesting that it will need a minimum of another five to seven years of patience. I suspect it will eventually merit an even higher rating. (13.7% alcohol; 3.6 pH; 3.9 grams per liter total acidity)
