The 2008 Clos des Lambrays smells of resin, incense, sassafras, and myriad fresh red berries; comes to the palate with terrific brightness, lift, pungency, and verve; and finishes with vibrant spiciness, exuberant sheer juiciness, and admirable clarity. With abundant but fine tannins, I suspect it will justify at least a decade’s attention, during which perhaps mineral and carnal complexities will emerge that are for now at most merely hinted-at. Thierry Brouin claims that a oeextreme selectivity and 4,700 bottles of Bourgogne rosea (of which, however, he didn’t open one for me) was his a oeformulaa for 2008 excellence. I last tasted the wines " some lots of which didn’t finish malo until December " assembled from tank just prior to their March bottling. The 2007s were bottled in that month as well, a oepropera wines " notes Brouin " a oerendered from fruit that didn’t look very good.a Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800
