The Fine Wine / Rare Spirit
Extremely rare Jeroboam (3L) of Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru 2014 signed by winemaker Jacques Devauges.
The Experience
VIP tour, tasting & fine wine lunch featuring extensive vintages, hosted at the Domaine by Jacques Devauges for 6 guests.
The Estate / Distillery
Jacques Devauges, Director and Winemaker of the Domaine, writes: "Since they were first erected by Cistercian monks in 1365, the walls surrounding the Clos des Lambrays have harnessed the harmony of their 8.66 hectares of vines. This notion of the perfect union of the whole persists today and remains the raison d’être of the property.
Over the course of the estate’s 600-year history, the unity of the Clos has not always been secure. The French Revolution saw the vineyard split across 74 different owners, but it's reassembly by the Rodier family in the late 1890s was a defining moment in the Domaine’s past, influencing its present, and driving its philosophy for the future under the auspices of Groupe LVMH.
All but one of the Clos’ 203 ouvrées (1/24th of a hectare) are owned by the Domaine des Lambrays today. Within what is practically a monopole, we have identified 12 distinct plots. The sheer diversity of terroir is most keenly felt treading the undulating ground inside the Clos – though small for a Grand Cru, you cannot see the entire Clos at once from any single vantage point. Averaging 90 years of age, the vines date mostly from between 1898 to 1935.
From 2019, Domaine des Lambrays committed to fully organic viticulture – an endeavour taking its cue from the estate’s previous apogee in the early 20th century, and one paramount to producing a wine that renders only the truest interpretation of its unique landscape.
Adopting biodynamic practices from 2020, we tend to the Clos as carefully as if it were our own garden."
