Latricieres Chambertin, Grand Cru, 2015
Ripe but rocky and crunchy, more reserved than the Clos de la Roche, long edgy minerally red fruits with sweeter nuances of fruit liqueur and flowers sitting in the background. Long, precise and vital, beautifully weighted. Handsome. Latricières 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. Just three barrels were made.
critic reviews
The 2015 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a bold, generous bouquet of blackberry and raspberry fruit, but lacks the delineation of Jean Trapet's own Latricières. The palate is medium-bodied, offering sappy black fruit and impressive substance but not quite delivering in terms of finesse and elegance on the blocky finish and falling short of my estimation in barrel. Give this five years in bottle to shave its edges. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
