Tasting notes
Charles Curtis MW · Decanter · 98
The deep purple/ruby colour of the 2019 and the intense blackberry and cassis fruit aromas speak to the youthful vibrancy of this impressive wine. The tannins are firm but not astringent, and a lively acidity balances the abundant extract. The wine was the first vintage of organic conversion; this and the difficult flowering meant a crop reduced by half. The grapes were picked from 13-17 September; 80% were fermented as whole clusters to produce this memorable wine with a lingering finish. Despite its power, there is still finesse and elegance.

The 2019 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru Grand Cru has a very typical bouquet for the vineyard: quite floral in style and predominantly red-fruited, with touches of kirsch and black truffle shavings and a light marine scent that emerges with time. The palate has a sweet core of fruit that lends this Morey an almost Vosne-like allure. The whole bunch is very well-integrated. This is a better showing than at the Burgfest tasting just a couple of months earlier.
