The 2014 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is matured in 50% new oak and is 100% whole bunch fruit. It is blessed with a winsome bouquet. As usual, there is something very natural, unimposing and refined on the nose: blackberry and briary, a hint of graphite, a subtle leafiness maybe, and yet delineated and very pure. The palate is lively and energetic with crisp tannin, black rather than red fruit, linear and very classic in style with what you might call a "cool" marine-influenced finish that has fine salinity. What a great Clos des Lambrays that will put a smile on the face of those that adore refined Burgundy.

(vinified with 100% whole clusters; 50% new oak): Dark red-ruby. Liqueur-like cherry and raspberry on the nose, complicated and lifted by smoky minerality. Pliant, suave and sweet, displaying lovely volume and complex saline soil tones. The stem element here gives this wine good inner-mouth lift. Finishes supple and long, with sneaky energy.

Stemmy scent and an almost hoppy character on the palate. Smoke too. Idiosyncractic and interesting, but seems to have an underripe element wihich gives hard tannin. Vegetal notes on the finish. (RH)
