Estate History and Heritage

Domaine des Lambrays traces its storied roots back to 1365, making it one of the oldest and most revered properties in Burgundy. Specifically, the estate is famous for its near-monopole stewardship of the legendary Grand Cru Clos des Lambrays. Moreover, the domaine underwent a modern renaissance under the stewardship of LVMH and régisseur Jacques Devauges.

Today, the estate farms organically and uses whole-cluster fermentations to maximize aromatic complexity. As a result, this 2021 Grand Cru bottling stands as a shining monument to Côte de Nuits elegance.
