An intensely floral also freely reveals aromas of rose petal, violet, lavender, spiced plum and a whiff of newly turned earth. The sleek and precise middleweight flavors also possess a caressing yet quite punchy palate feel while displaying outstanding length on the focused, moderately austere and built-to-age finale. This is also really very good and a wine that should easily repay 12 to 15 years of keeping. Note: produced from two large parcels of differing vine ages - one that is approximately two-thirds of the blend and is now 50+ years of age and a second, smaller group of vines that are approximately 25+ years of age; made with 80% whole clusters and 80% new wood Drink: 2033+
A pretty, perfumed and impressively deep wine, the 2021 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of dark plummy fruit mingled with rose petals, bergamot, cinnamon and cloves. Full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a fleshy core of fruit that's framed by powdery tannins and lively acids, it concludes with good persistence.
An even crimson with some density of red fruit. Backward at first, soon adding depth, a sweet and slightly charred oak mixed in with the fruit. No doubting the weight. The oak reappears at the finish, but this degree can be permitted in Grand Cru as long as the fruit extract is intense enough, which this is. Fine, long, finish. Would be even finer with less barrel char, but that should pass with time. Drink from 2028-2038. Tasted Sep 2025.
