The 2012 Clos des Lambrays was just a touch reduced at the time of my visit and was not singing with the same perfect pitch as the villages and premier cru cuvées, but this is clearly a legendary vintage for the Clos. Underneath the whiff of reduction is a very nascently complex and refined wine, offering up scents of black cherries, blueberries, espresso, kaleidoscopic dark soil tones, woodsmoke, fresh herb tones, incipient notes of the quail to come and a discreet base of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and still quite primary, with a rock solid core of fruit, outstanding focus and balance, fine-grained tannins and stunning length and grip on the seamless finish. A glorious vintage for this great terroir. 2022-2075+.

Reviews & Scores
"A markedly floral nose exhibits a broad array of spice and red and dark berry fruit aromas that include plum, cassis and earth. There is excellent detail and plenty of punch to the mineral-inflected flavors that are shaped by ultra-refined tannins on the balanced and gorgeously persistent finish that is firm and serious but not really especially austere. This is seriously good with a lovely sense of harmony plus the perfect balance suggests that this will mature over a very long time."
