A benchmark estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, Domaine des Lambrays is revered for its exceptional 8.7-hectare clos, held as a near-monopoly and perfectly positioned between Clos Saint-Denis and its long-standing rival, Clos de Tart. With diverse terroirs and exposures, the estate has embraced organic and biodynamic farming, further enhancing the unique identity of its Grand Cru over the years.

Focusing on early harvesting, strict sorting, and whole-cluster vinification, the domaine crafts wines of remarkable precision and depth. Since 2014, under the stewardship of the Arnault family, it has had the resources to meet its ambitious goals. Now led by Jacques Devauges, formerly of Clos de Tart, Domaine des Lambrays continues to produce some of the most refined and distinctive wines in Morey-Saint-Denis.
