Clos des Lambrays Domaine des Lambrays 1998

Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays 1998 is a mature-vintage red Burgundy from the Dating back to 1365, the walled vineyard of Clos des Lambrays is one of most prized vineyard sites in the Morey-Saint-Denis commune of the Côte de Beaune. Domaine des Lambrays was established in 1363 and has enjoyed Grand Crus status for its monopole vineyard since 1981. "Exquisite fruit that, in contrast to certain recent vintages here, positively shouts grand cru caliber fruit. The flavour profile is one of a certain classy, middleweight fighter`s grace and athleticism rather than a heavyweight`s power. There are plenty of ripe, mouth coating tannins lurking beneath the pinot baby fat. Much like the 99 in that it`s not especially big and certainly not highly extracted but it is very persistent on the finish with elegance and class to burn. An unqualified success." Burghound, 2007
