The Wine

The 1999 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is a true icon of Burgundy and the centerpiece of Domaine des Lambrays. The vineyard, with soils rich in marl, clay, and limestone, imparts the wine with unparalleled structure and minerality. Following traditional hand harvesting, the wine matures in the estate's underground cellars in oak barrels, with half of the barrels renewed each year. This meticulous aging process develops ripe dark berry aromas, delicate earthy notes, and remarkable depth. A timeless Grand Cru that masterfully embodies the elegance and complexity of Burgundy.

The Winery

Domaine des Lambrays is an exceptional winery in the heart of Burgundy, renowned for its nearly monopolistic ownership of the Grand Cru Clos des Lambrays. First mentioned in 1365, the vineyard achieved its well-deserved Grand Cru status in 1981, thanks to the passionate restoration efforts of the Saier family and winemaker Thierry Brouin. Spanning a vast but by no means uniform parcel, Clos des Lambrays offers remarkable diversity, rooted in its varied soil composition and the sunlight exposure of its gently sloping hills. This geological and climatic diversity plays a key role in the wines' complexity.
