Domaine des Lambrays - Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2022

WINE SPECTATOR: "Though well-marked by new oak for now, this red features ripe cherry, blackberry, violet, sandalwood and mineral aromas and flavors. Silky and elegant, yet there's underlying intensity and power. Harmonious in its youth, with its full potential and pedigree on display on the long, detailed aftertaste."

DECANTER: "Although the colour is not as deep as the 2019, the mulberry and plum fruit aromas are every bit as intense, with hints of violets, spice and earth. The texture is tightly wound and vigorous, with impressive density, tannic grip and length. 2022 was the fourth year of organic production, now certified, and the first made in the new winery. The grapes were picked from 1-6 September; 80% were fermented as whole clusters to produce another superb wine with immense ageing potential."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Deep, glowing, dark crimson. Reticent nose but clearly great depth. Almost bitter finish because it is stuffed with tannins! For now this is less approachable than, say, Le Cerisier 2022. Great tension and depth but brooding rather than seductive."
