Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru from Castagnier does not possess the intensity or clarity of one, with more red than black fruit (raspberry preserve and strawberry preserve), the oak a little more noticeable though that will be subsumed with time. The palate is sweet on the entry with fleshy red cherry and strawberry fruit, slightly lower acidity than Benjamin Leroux's Clos Saint-Denis. It is smooth in texture with a welcome pinch of white pepper towards the finish. Perhaps earlier drinking than others but I find it well made. Tasted September 2016.

430 vines total in the Clos acquired recently by LVMH! Doubtless Romain is keen to publicise his unusual holding, resulting in what he claims is the smallest vinification of a grand cru in the Côte de Nuits. (Roumier makes 1.3 casks of Musigny, he adds.) Broad redcurrant nose. Not as focused as Mazoyères – a bit looser – but very sweet and fun. Very long. (JR)
