2023 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbè, Domaine des Lambrays

2023 Morey-St-Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbè, Domaine des Lambrays

Releasing soon

Like Clos Baulet, this also once used to be part of the Lambrays domaine, and 2022 saw its return after a generation of separate ownership. It is more focused and serious than the ethereal Baulet, and shows excellent potential. The tannins feel powerful yet controlled, altogether resulting in a complete and satisfying wine.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Morey-Saint-Denis Clos Sorbet 1er Cru contains 50% whole bunch, which is much more integrated on the nose. Beautiful brambly red fruit, crushed stone and hints of freshly-rolled tobacco come through with time. Very finessed and mineral-driven, the palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, gradually building to a poised and persistent finish. This may eventually surpass the 2022.

(92—94)/100

Clos Sorbè has a red soil in contrast to the brown earth of Clos Baulet. A dark crimson purple. Dark fruit in volume, concentrated, more tannins as well, a touch of iron in there, “tobacco and spices” offers Jacques. It is a bulkier style of wine all round, thus hiding the whole bunch more. Needs more elevage. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2024.
