DOMAINE DES LAMBRAYS Morey Saint Denis Clos Baulet 2023

Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Burgundy Red

€120,00 / 75cl inc. VAT

In this fresh and vibrant 2023 vintage, Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Clos Baulet from Domaine des Lambrays asserts itself with remarkable purity. Its delicate substance releases nuances of wild berries, sandalwood, and a subtle touch of blond tobacco, channeled by a very seductive tension. The straight and precise finish confirms a potential for aging marked by great finesse.

Vinous Tasting Note

The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Baulets 1er Cru is the smallest Premier Cru on brown soils, with Lambrays holding 0.3 hectares. The 50% stems seem quite exposed on the nose and occludes the fruit at present. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and slightly darker fruit. It is overtly peppery thanks to those stems, which will require time to integrate. I will be prudent for now.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Domaine des Lambrays is an essential benchmark of Morey-Saint-Denis, in the Côte de Nuits. Its history is intertwined with that of the famous Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, a jewel whose origins date back to the 14th century. Once fragmented, this clos was reunited in the 19th century, thereby regaining its unity and splendor. Today, the estate is fully committed to environmentally friendly viticulture in order to reveal the purest expression of its terroirs. The wines of Domaine des Lambrays are distinguished by their elegance, depth, and aromatic complexity. In addition to the iconic Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, the estate produces superb Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Crus, including Les Loups and Clos Sorbè, which wonderfully illustrate the unique character of this appellation. A Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos du Cailleret completes the range, bringing a touch of freshness and minerality. It is said that the monks of the Abbey of Cîteaux already appreciated this exceptional terroir. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, Domaine des Lambrays Morey-Saint-Denis, and Domaine des Lambrays Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Les Loups—useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
