To my palate the wines at Clos des Lambrays have been improving consistently from vintage to vintage since at least 1993, but from the 1999 vintage onwards the quality took a most significant step upwards. The 2001 is a stellar vintage for this wine, and it must offer one of the finest values to be found in the Côte de Nuits for a grand cru. The bouquet is deep and stunning, as it offers up a superb, black fruity mélange of black cherries, dark plums, woodsmoke, incipient notes of game, a great complex base of soil, a bit of espresso and just a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, deep and intensely flavored, with a rock solid core of fruit, beautifully integrated tannins and acids, and a perfectly balanced, focused and very classy long finish. The 2001 is a superb Clos des Lambrays in the making.
