2021 Domaine des Lambrays Morey St. Denis 1er Cru 'Les Loups'

93 POINTS: The Morey premier cru from Lambrays has better density than the village-level wine; there is a ripe plummy fruit with notes of liquorice underlined with a note of dark chocolate. The texture has more weight and substance, and the tannins linger pleasantly on the finish. The wine is a blend of 50% declassified young vines from the Clos along with parcels owned in Morey premiers crus, including Les Riottes, Les Sorbès and Le Village, with half of the grapes fermented as whole clusters.
