Domaine des Lambrays : Morey-Saint-Denis Village 2022

This rich red offers cherry, boysenberry, incense and vanilla aromas and flavors. Supple, yet with a firm backbone, this is balanced and lingers on the spicy, mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2037. 160 cases imported.

This distinctive wine has a fresh and bright cherry fruit aroma with a distinct hint of peony and anise. The texture is lively and silky, with an ethereal, dynamic tension that stays in balance with the forward fruit character. The grapes come from two parcels at the top of the slope, Les Larrets above the Clos and En la Rue de Vergy above the Clos de Tart. This wine is a perennial favourite of mine for top quality at a reasonable price.

Pristine and honest, with elegant, crunchy Morello cherries and a touch of dark minerals. It’s fruity for sure, but there is also a mossy character on the medium-bodied palate, with a firm, structured finish. Good length. Drink from 2026.

Even the simple Morey already shows a very assertive character, floral with powdery tannins, brimming with superb energy and a deliciously moreish length.
