1998 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru

Description

The 1998 vintage is historically significant for this Domaine; it is widely considered the "turnaround" vintage where quality began to soar under the direction of legendary winemaker Thierry Brouin. While the 1990s were a period of restoration for the estate, the '98 is celebrated for its classical balance and "Grand Cru caliber" fruit.
