📜 Clos des Lambrays
A grand cru in Morey-Saint-Denis with red wines from Pinot Noir.
Clos des Lambrays is a grand cru in the commune of Morey-Saint-Denis, in the Côte de Nuits of Burgundy. The wines are red, made from Pinot Noir. The word "clos" means a vineyard enclosed by a wall. The site is still surrounded by a stone wall today.
The vineyard lies on a slope, on limestone soil. It is relatively small, and for many years it had several owners before passing to a single owner. Clos des Lambrays holds a special place among red Burgundies: the wines are considered elegant and layered, with aromas of red berries, violets and spice, and gain depth with time.
Grand cru status is given only to the best sites, with stricter rules. The appellation covers still red wines, and only one grape is allowed: Pinot Noir. Clos des Lambrays is tied to the Côte de Nuits, the main area of red Burgundy. Such wines are served with game, poultry and cheese after several years of ageing, and the best bottles can keep for decades.
