VINOUS 97 POINTS - "The 2021 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru continues to impress. Lighter in hue than the 2019 served alongside, it has a lovely nose, the 80% whole-bunch imparting a patina of herbaceousness, damp forest floor, that marries beautifully with the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, supremely poised entry. Notes of cedar and sage develop, the tannins more pliant than when I tasted this from barrel, with a piquant finish. Outstanding. Tasted at the Clos des Lambrays vertical in Morey-Saint-Denis."
DECANTER 97 POINTS - "The product of a difficult vintage, the 2021 Clos des Lambrays is almost the antithesis of either the 2020 or the 2022, yet this wine has a charm and elegance all its own, and I count it among the great successes of this trying year. The colour is lighter, and the fruit is more perfumed and less powerful than its siblings, but there is a charm to the spicy pomegranate and lilac-scented fruit aromas and the elegant, silky finesse on the palate. The yield was half of an average year. The grapes were picked at 13.1 and chaptalised to 13.6, yet the overall impression is decidedly ahead of the pack."
