I tasted in January with long-time estate manager Thierry Brouin, who will be retiring this spring, and his successor Boris Champy, who hails from Champagne but spent the early part of his career working for the Moueix family in Bordeaux and Napa Valley (Champy was the winemaker at Dominus Estate from 1997 to 2007) and since then had served as technical director for Domaine Louis Latour in Aloxe-Corton. Champy, who started here in June of 2017, finds that the estate’s 2015s have more grip than their ’16s, as well as slightly lower pHs. He believes that 2016 will be easier to drink early. Clos des Lambrays had very good yields in ’16, said Champy, with just a bit of frost in some village vines located just below the forest. Brouin expressed the opinion that 2016 would be for drinking before 2015, "just as ’06 is more accessible at this stage than ’05."
