Historical estate of Morey Saint-Denis
According to the Abbey of Cîteaux's official archives, the construction of the Clos des Lambrays happened somewhere around 1365. There is actually a milestone near the Morey Saint-Denis estate, commemorating the year the "Cloux des Lambreys" (as it was known at the time) was born. After the French Revolution of 1789, the estate was cut in 74 different plots and many owners came and went. In spite of all these changes, the Clos' reputation was left untouched.
Although, from 1938 to 1979, things got complicated. The estate and the vineyard were abandoned for 40 years and it started to crumble away. The Saier Brothers, seeing what was going on, decided to buy the entire Clos and started renovating it. They hired the oenologist Thierry Brouin and all three of them replanted the grapevines and brought the wine estate back from the dead. Since 1981, as a result, the Clos des Lambrays is classified as a Grand Cru.
The following owners, Günter and Ruth Freund (a couple of true Burgundy enthusiasts), sold the estate to the LVMH Group (they also own the Château d’Yquem). The 9 hectares vineyard is located in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. The Clos des Lambrays is mainly Pinot Noir and the produced wine is served in restaurants around the world; a proof of high quality.
