A simple delight. Not heavy, but tantalisingly springy, bouncy fruit. So lively, all over the palate with a mouthwatering, perfect juice balance. L&S (Nov 2011)

(bottled in April of 2012): Good bright, deep red. Very pure, Chambolle-like aromas of flowers, minerals, earth, herbs and pepper. Then silky and smooth in the mouth, with a saline quality and smoky minerality carrying through the rising finish. Perhaps a bit warm at 13.25% natural alcohol, but this silky, lightly peppery wine is long for village wine. Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2013)
The 2010 Morey St. Denis is soft, perfumed and impeccably elegant. Rose petals, red berries, licorice and sweet spices are some of the nuances that are woven together in this finessed, silky Burgundy. The 2010 looks to have considerable early appeal. It is a gorgeous wine at this level and a great introduction to the domaine. Drinking range: 2013 - 2020 Rating: 89-91 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Feb 2012)
Exotic red berry liqueur aroma complicated by clove, cinnamon and pepper. Supple, sweet and very ripe, with raspberry, smoke and coffee flavors lifted by high-pitched spices. Nicely concentrated and fat for this village wine, but also has a firm spine running through it. Finishes with ripe tannins and good length. Rating: 87 - 89 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Jan 2012)
Domaine des Lambrays
The 'Clos' consists of 8.66 hectares of land enclosed by a wall in which there is the original milestone marking its founding in 1365, confirmed in the records of the Abbaye de Citeaux (those monks knew where to place a vineyard). The Clos owes much of its current fame to the nineteenth and twentieth century proprietors who reconstituted it after the fragmentation of ownership which followed the French revolution. Despite always having been considered a Grand Cru site, the Clos was in fact classified Premier Cru in the original 1936 appellations contrôlées.
The Rodier family which owned it from the 1930s fought to regain its Grand cru status, with eventual success only in 1981, when it became the last of the thirty-three Grands Crus of Burgundy, although by then it had passed to the Saier family. Recently under the benign ownership of the Günther Freund and his family, who gave a very free hand to régisseur Thierry Brouin, who had been employed by their predecessor Rolland Pelletier de Chambure, the quality of the wines here has pushed up again. In 2014 it was bought by the LVMH group.
It has been all rather quick change here as Jacques Devauge has taken over here after a short interregnum under Boris Champy. The legacy of Thierry Brouin can still be felt, Jacques decribing him as having been 'clairvoyant' in his approach to the domaine, which has set it up well to deal with challenges of warmer vintages. Jacques seems set to take this estate onward - 'every domaine has to challenge itself to do better', he says. 2019 marks the second year being fully organic - if all goes well they will be certified after another two.
