Legendarisk topvin fra Domaine des Lambrays og noget af det allerstørste, man kan opdrive i hele Bourgogne!
Med Clos des Lambrays er vi helt oppe blandt de største burgundiske sværvægtere. Vi taler her om eliten indenfor Grand Cru Bourgogne, et vaskeægte ikon, intet mindre.
Der gæres fortrinsvis med stilke, omtrent 80 procent, hvorefter lagringen finder sted i primært nye egetræsfade (60 %). Vinen besidder en nærmest ubeskrivelig intensitet og dybde, der efterlader indtryk af en vin, som snildt vil kunne gemmes forsvarligt væk og nydes om 15-20 år. Et indiskutabelt mesterværk fra en Bourgognes mest ikoniske producenter.
Clos des Lambrays er en fuldkommen unik vin fra en af Bourgognes mest feterede producenter. I alt producerer Domaine des Lambrays blot en håndfuld vine, men kronjuvelen er ubestridt Clos des Lambrays. Vinen tager navn efter den 8,84 hektar store Grand Cru mark i Morey Saint Denis, der lige akkurat ikke har status af at være en monopolmark, da én anden producent, Domaine Taupenot-Merme ejer en mikroskopisk andel. Marken er blandt de ældste og mest sagnomspundne i hele Bourgogne, hvis rødder kan spores helt tilbage til 1365.
Ejerskabet af Domaine des Lambrays skiftede i 2014 hænder, da huset blev overtaget en LVMH-gruppen, der i forvejen ejer vinhuse såsom Krug, Dom Perignon, Château d’Yquem og Cheval Blanc. Et yderst eksklusivt og fornemt selskab, hvor Domaine des Lambrays ubesværet passer ind.
Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy - 95-98
The 11 plots were made separately and reunited just before the bottling. The terroir delimited in 1365 rests whole, with nothing declassified. Intense black purple with some glycerol legs. Sweetly dark fruit with the whole bunches hidden. A multitude of different red fruit notes speed across the palate and then the stems do show a little, gracefully, at the finish, along with some oak. As with La Richemone one can see that this vintage is not as concentrated as the previous one, but the wine has been beautifully made with rare distinction. Fine tannins to finish. Drink from 2033-2045.
Vinous - 96-98
Eleven different cuvées combine to form the 2023 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, with every square meter contributing to the blend, to quote Jacques Devauges verbatim (as an aside, this is the same philosophy at Cheval Blanc, which is also on LVMH's mantelpiece). This vintage includes 80% whole bunch and was raised in 60% new oak. The bouquet is very expressive with ebullient red berry fruit, tobacco, forest floor and subtle aromas of ceps. The palate is medium-bodied with fine yet firm tannins that lend backbone and gentle grip. This fans out with style on the sapid finish with a liberal sprinkling of black pepper. The 2023 ranks alongside the 2022 and may even surpass it. Prices have skyrocketed in recent years and priced out many Lambrays-lovers, but one cannot deny the quality.
