Clos des Lambrays
Appearance
Clos des Lambrays is a grand cru vineyard in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy located near the town of Morey-Saint-Denis.[1] It was elevated from premier cru to grand cru status in 1981.[2] The appellation Clos des Lambrays can only be used for red wines based on Pinot noir.
Clos de Lambrays totals 8.84 hectares (21.8 acres), and most of it or 8.66 hectares (21.4 acres), is owned by the winery Domaine de Lambrays. However, Domaine Taupenet-Merme also has a small holding in this vineyard, so Domaine de Lambrays are unable to put a "Monopole" label on their bottles.[3]
