The 2010 Morey St. Denis is soft, perfumed and impeccably elegant. Rose petals, red berries, licorice and sweet spices are some of the nuances that are woven together in this finessed, silky Burgundy. The 2010 looks to have considerable early appeal. It is a gorgeous wine at this level and a great introduction to the domaine. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
Domaine des Lambrays’s 2010s are outstanding. Yields were down approximately 30% mostly because of the irregular flowering, recounts estate manager Thierry Brouin. The Morey villages was made from entirely destemmed fruit, while the Loups and Clos des Lambrays were vinified with 100% whole bunches. The wine saw approximately 15 days of cuvaison with 5-6 pigeages a day. The wines were chaptalized a little less than one degree.
