Clos des Lambrays Domaine des Lambrays 2008 presents a nuanced expression of Pinot Noir from this celebrated monopole vineyard. This vintage reveals pronounced earthy undertones paired with delicate floral accents, interwoven with ripe red and blue fruit characteristics. The medium-bodied palate showcases a structured complexity, culminating in a finish that is both dusty and robust. The tannins appear somewhat dry, which may be attributed to the wine`s youthful vigour. Established in 1981, Domaine des Lambrays champions sustainable viticulture, reflecting a commitment to terroir-driven Burgundy wines.

Vinous
Medium red. Almost a confectionery sweetness to the aromas of black cherry, cassis and dried flowers. Fat, sweet, lush and fine-grained; this really fills the mouth with perfume. The berry, pepper and mineral flavors are complicated by a saline, earthy nuance. Finishes with superb breadth of fine tannins and excellent persistence. When I asked Brouin what would happen to the peppery acidity of 2008 with aging, he opened a bottle of the 1998 Clos des Lambrays, which showed a tannic edge but maintained a silky texture with mellow spice, truffle and molasses notes and plenty of energy for further aging. I would not have described this wine as peppery, and Brouin added that the 2008 began life with more fruit than the earlier vintage.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2011
