The 2nd of 4 Grand Crus from Morey Saint Denis. Colour of deep Ruby - darker than the Lambrays. Quite a rich palate of M+ intensity. Great mouthfeel. At this point I wrote in my notes “ getting to the point of sensory overload. Let me tell you that 2016 is a great vintage for Red Burgundy “. A wonderful Clos de la Roche”. Worth purchasing as it is always better value than the Ponsot Clos de la Roche. — 5 years ago
Remarkably intense flowery strawberry nose with little reflection of its age. Rich infused sweet tea flavors and gorgeous fruit that remains strong through the finish. — 7 years ago

Pop and pour. Wow. On the nose: a touch of struck match, dense lemon, lemon oil, wet stone, filigreed fruit on minerality. So delicate, but simulateously powerful. Lovely density, crushed rock, lemon oil, fantastic acidity and a long finish. Fantastic, but so young. Sad this is no longer a monopole...doubt I will ever be able to afford the Lambrays version. — 2 years ago
A quick decant and five minutes later this was singing. Has the Morey St. Denis signature. — 9 months ago
These Cameron clos electrique rouge just keep getting better. This is better than the 15 or 12 at a similar stage imo. An absolutely pitch perfect btl of young PN. On the nose, soft funky reduction that disappears with air, pure wild strawberry, perfume, earthy spice. On the palate, amazing acidity, wild strawberry, spice, earth. But this is so enveloping, the extract is off the charts, but only 12.4% abv, it can't be! Soft, finely grained tannin on the finish. This is one of the best wines I have had this year, on par with and perhaps better than the 11 Lambrays from January. — 4 years ago

The 2014 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru, made by Thierry Brouin, has a typically leafy bouquet. There is something autumnal about the aromatics, and some red fruits are extant but certainly moving into their secondary phase. The palate is medium-bodied with an austere, slightly meaty opening. This is not a concentrated Lambrays by any means. It's a little dry and mealy in the mouth, though it has charm. (Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2024)
