It is the most recent Grand Cru of Morey-Saint-Denis, created by the decree of April 27, 1981, and reserved for red wine from Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArchival documents mention it as early as the fourteenth century, when it belonged in part to the abbey of Cîteaux. After the Revolution, when national property was sold off, it ended up divided among 74 owners; later reassembled, it is now almost entirely under a single owner. Long neglected, it owes its present reputation to the owners who, in the last third of the twentieth century, restored its quality and international renown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard climbs from 260 to 350 meters, marly in its upper part and clay-limestone in the lower. At the northern end, where a combe opens out, the local climate is cooler and breezier. On the steepest stretch \u003cstrong\u003ethe rows follow the contour lines\u003c\/strong\u003e, an unusual layout in the area that, according to the appellation rules, curbs erosion. The same rules note small black fruits, spices, and a long finish; for the BIVB, the young wine is round and tastes of cherry. The available bottles are listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"domaine-des-lambrays-clos-de-lambrays-grand-cru-2011-075","title":"Domaine des Lambrays Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru 2011 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eDomaine des Lambrays presents Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru 2011 AOC 0,75l as a place where time seems to harmonize with the substance of the fruit, offering an authentic reading of the Côte de Nuits terroir through a lens of elegance and discipline that has characterized the estate since the birth of its identity. The producer’s history is steeped in a tradition that has seen it as the guardian of iconic vineyard parcels, where daily care of the vines and management shaped by local experience have enabled the wine to express, in every vintage, a balance between controlled power and silky refinement. The estate follows a production philosophy founded on close observation of the growing cycle, hand-harvesting, and an ageing process that favors integrating oak without letting it overshadow the fruit, preserving the purity of the aromatic promise and the precision of the texture. Compared with other producers in the same area, Clos de Lambrays stands out for its commitment to giving the wine a synergy of density and lightness, a result born of attention to every detail: from using vessels that enhance minerality to managing the tannins to ensure structure without pushing opulence too far. The wine’s stylistic profile is conveyed by an initial impression of deep ruby color with garnet reflections; the bouquet opens with notes of dark fruit, a touch of violet, and delicate pepper, followed by ethereal hints of graphite and cocoa that evoke earthy depth. On the palate, the wine is restrained yet present: a velvety texture, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity that sustains the long finish, and a minerality that accompanies the tasting journey like a subtle but persistent line. Within the producer’s range, Clos de Lambrays Grand Cru remains the ultimate expression of its ability to interpret a distinctive cru, offering an insight for those seeking a wine that can evolve over time while remaining contemporary and present.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine des Lambrays","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56778836607301,"sku":"DOMDES-CLODELAM-BOU-11-075","price":365.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Domaine-des-Lambrays-Clos-de-Lambrays-Grand-Cru-2011-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788873716"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/collections\/1920px-Vignes__C3_A0_Morey-Saint-Denis__28C_C3_B4te-d_27Or_29_01.jpg?v=1794593060","url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/clos-des-lambrays-grand-cru.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
