Morey-St-Denis Cru Clos Sorbè AC Premier Cru 1.5L

Clos Sorbè is one of the most well-known Premier Cru sites in Morey-Saint-Denis — a village located between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny that is often underestimated, even though its soils possess the same depth. The Domaine des Lambrays, primarily known for its monopole Grand Cru Clos des Lambrays, cultivates this parcel with the same care that has distinguished the estate for generations.

In the glass, this Pinot Noir displays the typical signature of the Côte de Nuits: dark cherry, cassis, and a hint of violets, underpinned by fine earth and a mineral pull shaped by the site's calcareous marl soil. The body is medium-weight, the tannins are silky and well-integrated, and the finish is long with a subtle spicy note. The magnum bottle (1.5 liters) matures more slowly and evenly than the standard bottle — a clear advantage for a wine with this structure.

On the table, it pairs well with loin of wild boar with mushroom jus, duck breast, or a ripe Époisses. Serving temperature: 16–17 °C; feel free to decant for an hour after opening.
