Almost twenty years ago this Montreal based consignor accidently fell into the world of wine. He worked at the SAQ while in university and began to study wine on the side to be able to answer customers’ questions. Upon graduating he decided to work at a winery and spent a year at Domaine de la Rectorie, and when he returned home, he became a sommelier. His passion for wine is rooted in a love for discovering new wines, exploring the rich history of winemaking, connecting with people, and a deep-seated passion for travel. He began collecting in 2009, and over time, it has evolved into a full-fledged passion for curating a diverse collection, with a particular focus on Burgundy, my favorite wine-growing region. He sourced bottles via the SAQ and while travelling to vineyards. His collection has been meticulously stored in a temperature-controlled wine cellar, ensuring optimal conditions for preservation and aging.
The score for 2016 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Still a little closed after its recent bottling, the 2016 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru exhibits aromas of cassis, raspberries, currant leaf and potpourri. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with fine-grained tannins, creditable concentration and juicy acids, concluding with a fragrant finish. This isn't as deep or multidimensional as the 2015 rendition, but it's an elegant middle-weight Clos des Lambrays that should drink well for 20 years or more. Morey-Saint-Denis was spared hail in this vintage, and 2016 thus delivered the largest yield recorded at the Clos since 1999. It was vinified with around 85% whole cluster, and the finished pH of 3.46 is only a touch lower than the 2015's pH of 3.48.
