Clos des Lambrays
Clos des Lambrays is an premier cru to grand cru status in 1981, which meant that it was created as a separate AOC.[2]
Clos de Lambrays totals 8.84 hectares (21.8 acres) and most of it (8.66 hectares (21.4 acres)) is owned by the winery Domaine des Lambrays. However, Domaine Taupenot-Merme also has a small holding in this vineyard, so Domaine des Lambrays is unable to put a "Monopole" label on its bottles.[3]
Production
In 2008, 7.04 hectares (17.4 acres) of vineyard surface was in production within the AOC, and 236 hectoliters of wine were produced,[4] corresponding to slightly over 31,000 bottles.
AOC regulations
The main grape variety for Clos des Lambrays is Pinot noir. The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of
potential alcohol.[5]
