Domaine des Lambrays, Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, Burgundy, 2011

Delicate flavours – roasted herbs, blackberry fruit, violets. Very supple, medium bodied, balanced wine with a long finish.

A wine that reveals an ample, outgoing and broad nose that embraces the more opulent side of the 2011 vintage, but also with pronounced whole-cluster fermentation notes of spice, sweet leather and earth. Mouth-filling and intense, it finishes moderately chewy with a firm texture, though its fresh acidity gives the wine a slightly airier feel than its weight would suggest.
