2012 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted 45 mins after decanting. Medium-heavy body with tremendous power. Nose not giving up much at that point other than nebulous, dark fruits. Flavors of spearmint, watercress, rhubarb and ash. Needed at least another hour of lounge time in the decanter to unfurl those wings somewhat but three hours woulda been better. Two bottles left so will opt for a 6 hr decant next viz if possible. 12.25.24. — 7 hours ago

Garnet with orange edge. Gentle and elegant aroma. Fresh initially, 1.5 hours, stabilized. Forest floor. Spices. Special fruitiness with passion fruits like. Taste is gentle sweetness first. Rounded. Medicine like aroma as well. stimulated to my brain. Robert Groffier Pete & Fils 14 @1900/G(18000), Fred, 241102 — 2 months ago

Beautiful sweet berry fruit. Rounded and intense with floral fragrance- violets, roses. Done spiciness at the edges, cinnamon. Done dark plum and garrigue… herbal notes. Soulful and delicious. — 19 days ago

A producer & wine I purchase every year as it always hits the spot for Burgundy lovers with its red & black cherry, berry fruit, spice, crushed rock mineral & violet. The 19 is youthful but approachable with its generous fruit & spice. — 25 days ago

It needed air, but it filled out well with time in the glass to show quite a lot of class. — 15 days ago

The 2020 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru has real intensity on the nose. It's very well-defined with layers of black cherry and blue fruit, mineral-driven with hints of violet emerging with aeration. But this is backward and holding itself back. The palate has exquisite balance. It's a little granular in texture, lightly spiced bordering on peppery, building beautifully in the mouth to exert an insistent grip on the finish. There is a grandeur about this Grand Cru that keeps you entranced, but it will demand time in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)
