Clos des Lambrays - 2021 - Jacques Devauges

100% Pinot Noir from vines planted on this quasi Monopole vineyard site owned by the estate, classified as a Grand Cru. The Clos des Lambrays has gentle slopes providing exposure to sunlight from multiple directions. At the top of the Clos the soils are marly, while the bottom of the Clos is clay and limestone. The grapes are harvested by hand, with yields of about 35 hl/hectare. Vinification: 80% whole grape bunches, with slightly longer than usual alcoholic fermentation, gentle pressing, and 18 months of maturation in barrels, half of which are new oak.
