Clos Des Lambrays Grand Cru, Domaine des Lambrays, 2024

"This is the precise blend. Perfumed, with rose petal and anise. A delicate and refined glide into the palate. There is volume with airy lightness, a delicacy woven with silken generosity of sweet fruit. Complex layering and freshness. Hints of thyme, mint tea, and dried petals on the palate. It expands onto the finish, where it gathers momentum and extends into a lovey, long, lingering persistence. Such elegance and limpid purity. Among the most alluring grands crus I tasted in 2024."

"All the cuvées are still separate but the sample has them all, and in their right proportions. Nothing selected out. 80% whole bunch vinification. A vigorous ruby red. Another exceptionally fine bouquet, a pure red fruit with some dancing points of spice. This is treading lightly but retaining its tensile strength, a wine of impressive elegance, properly ripe fruit, without the power of 2022 and 2023 of course, but if you want a beautifully refined expression of pure pinot, this will do a pretty good job. Very silky. But note not racked yet so may very well be lifted as the others have been. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted Nov 2025."
