The Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 1988 is a classic representative of this unique terroir in Morey-Saint-Denis and reflects the cool, structured style of the vintage. The nose unfolds with a complex interplay of aromas of dried red fruits such as rosehip and sour cherry, accompanied by ripe plums, forest floor, and subtle hints of truffle, undergrowth, and oriental spices. Subtle notes of black tea, tobacco, and graphite lend the bouquet additional depth. On the palate, the wine presents a taut, precise structure, supported by lively acidity and fine-grained, yet still noticeable, tannins that lend it impressive length. The mineral character of the Clos des Lambrays is particularly evident on the finish, accompanied by subtle hints of leather, herbs, and a delicate salinity. A wine of aristocratic elegance and exceptional finesse, which is now at a fascinating stage of maturity but still has several years of further development potential.
