The village of Morey-Saint-Denis is brimming with mythical terroirs, and Clos des Lambrays plays a major role in this majestic winegrowing heritage.

First recorded in the 14th century, Clos des Lambrays is one of Burgundy’s 33 Grands Crus.
Owned by various families since its beginnings, the estate was purchased in 2014 by the LVMH group, which has since been committed to preserving its spirit and values. The excellence of Clos des Lambrays wines is measured day by day, and the choices made in the vineyard and the cellar are no stranger to this. The estate is run according to the principles of organic farming, and horses are often seen roaming the vineyards to help work the soil.
All these steps are the fruit of the judicious choices made by Mr. Jacques Devauges, the estate’s new strongman since his arrival in 2019. The estate’s wines are remarkable for their sincerity and aromatic intensity.
