The 2012 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru was tasted as a blend of one new and one used barrel, representing what the final assemblage will be. There are just 50 pieces this year, whereas normally there are over 100. It has a distinctive, quintessential Clos des Lambrays bouquet with well-defined brambly black fruit, forest floor and damp moss scents. Fine tannins underpin the palate with crisp, almost sharp acidity and a slightly herbaceous finish that distinguishes it from others. As so often the case, it comes across stern and rustic in its youth, but experience has told me that after 6-8 years in bottle that stem character will disappear and I like the balance and focus here. Those that appreciate Clos des Lambray’s style will appreciate this, those who prefer more fruit head over to Clos de Tart. Usually the domaine produces two premier crus from Puligny: Les Folatieres and Caillerets, but because of hail damage Thierry blended them together to make a single premier cru.

Lively deep ruby. A rather 'natural' nose! Intensity and potential certainly but not the purest. I look forward to seeing what others have written already. A little bitter on the end. But it does taste like a grand cru.
