I found the 2009s from Clos des Lambrays showed much better from bottle than they did when I tasted them from barrel.

Clos des Lambrays is one of the very few estates I visited that had a hard time in 2009. The estate was particularly affected by hail in May. As Thierry Brouin describes it, Morey was the village that was hit hardest by hail and within Morey, the Clos was the most affected vineyard. Yields were still a reasonable 30 hectoliters per hectare, still quite a bit lower than most other producers enjoyed in this abundant harvest. The estate does not use herbicides or pesticides, and two-thirds of the parcels are worked by horse. In 2009 the harvest started on September 10. The wines were vinified in stainless steel with 100% whole bunches. I tasted the 2009s from tank, where they awaited bottling, scheduled for late March 2011. Overall, I have to say I found the 2008s quite a bit more interesting. Readers will find notes on those wines on this site.

Thierry Brouin told me he was the first to harvest in Morey-Saint-Denis in 2009, beginning on September 10, as the hail in May limited yields to about 32 hectoliters per hectare and allowed for earlier picking. Brouin describes the 2009s as a blend of 2005 and 1999, although he allowed that the 2009s may be "easier." Thanks to the ripe stems (Brouin vinifies entirely with whole clusters), he did a lot of pigeages (five punchdowns per day for the first five or six days of the fermentation). The malos finished by February and the wines were racked in March.
