History: The very first reference to Clos des Lambrays traces back to the fourteenth century. Archives of the Abbey of Cîteaux reveal its founding around 1365. An engraved milestone, still in its original location, commemorates the founding. After the French Revolution, the Clos became extremely fragmented. Based on the archives and maps of the vines owned by the Domaine, the survival and recomposition of the fragments of the Clos des Lambrays was due in large part to the strong vision and willpower of its different owners during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Tasting Note:

Nice yellow pale color. Intense nose with seductive and ripe flavors (apricots, white peaches). Upon first sip, the palate is wide and ripe. As the wine hits the mid palate and moves onto the finish, the tension and the minerality become very noticeable.
