The Story

This Grand Cru ranks among the 100 best red wines of the world. / The vineyard Clos des Lambrays is one of the greatest surface area in Grand Cru from all the Côte de Nuits.. The Clos des Lambrays is full-bodied, rough and supple, "a hand of iron in a glove of velvet". With flavors of black fruits (blackberries and blueberries), powerful, elegant with round and noble tannins.

Clos des Lambrays is made with Burgundy’s great black variety Pin...

Vintage 1995

A small crop of high quality for long ageing. As in 1985, the acidity in the white wines is hidden behind the ripe fruit. 

An early frost and cool June weather severely reduced the size of the 1995 crop. July and August were fine, dry and warm, but cooler conditions arrived in September, bringing showers and overcast skies.

Written Notes

Palish medium red with a hint of amber. Musky, slightly resiny scents of dark raspberry, spices, tar, tobacco, cedar and eucalyptus. The herb and resin notes carry through onto the palate, where they currently overshadow the wine's dark fruit and spice flavors. Fairly rich and thick in the middle, but cut off on the back end by rather rigid tannins. Boasts a strong spine but the acid/tannin balance is a bit sharp. Still, this wine finishes with very good spicy length and lift and comes across as younger than my bottle of the 1999. Incidentally, Brouin noted that he would not drink this wine quite yet, as he holds out the hope that it will soften with more time in bottle. (13.5% alcohol; 3.46 pH; 3.8 g/l acidity)
