2005 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru

Description

The 2005 vintage is widely regarded as one of the greatest in the last 50 years. For Clos des Lambrays—a "near-monopole" and the largest Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis—this season provided perfect conditions: a dry summer followed by cool nights, allowing the grapes to reach peak ripeness while maintaining high natural acidity.
