The Clos des Lambrays was first recorded in 1365, in documents linked to the Abbaye de Cîteaux. After the French Revolution the property was divided among 74 owners. By 1938, Renée Cosson had inherited what remained of the estate, which saw little investment during her ownership. In 1979, Roland de Chambure and the Saier brothers bought the domaine and began restoring the vineyard with winemaker Thierry Brouin. The Clos des Lambrays was raised from premier cru to grand cru status on 27 April 1981. LVMH announced the purchase of Domaine des Lambrays on 14 April 2014, for 100 million euros.

The Clos des Lambrays grand cru covers 8.84 hectares, of which Domaine des Lambrays owns 8.66 hectares; a small remaining plot belongs to Domaine Taupenot-Merme, so the wine cannot carry a monopole label. The vineyard is made up of three named sections, Les Larrets, Meix-Rentier and Les Bouchots, on limestone and clay soil. The domaine also farms two parcels of Morey-Saint-Denis premier cru Les Loups, four parcels of village Morey-Saint-Denis, and, since 1993, two small parcels of premier cru in Puligny-Montrachet, Clos du Cailleret and Les Folatières. Pinot noir is the only grape used for the red wines, aged in oak barrels, half of them renewed at each vintage.

At Dynamic Cellars, the range from Domaine des Lambrays is built on the Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, in the 2013 and 2016 vintages. Discover more Grand Cru Burgundy, Morey-Saint-Denis and Burgundy wines.
