Latricieres Chambertin, Grand Cru, 2017

A wild mineral nose precedes a great but finely-chiselled structure steadying the seductive fruit flavours. Creamy and suave initially but this tightens to reveal some steel and backbone on the finish. Mineral and rocky but padded out by some sweet strawberry fruit. Serious and resplendent with terroir character. The stature, energy and grace of a great Grand Cru. Superb. Latricieres is a much cooler, windier terroir than Clos de la Roche, yielding wines that are often rather austere and reticent in its youth but blossoms with age.
