Latricieres Chambertin, Grand Cru, 2009

Latricières is a cooler terroir than the other Grands Crus of Gevrey, a place ideally suited at the hotter end of the 2009 season. A wonderful colour, deep and brilliant red-purple, structured and intense, gripping tannins wrapped in baskets of fruits flavours — bullace, damson, blueberry, cranberry and red currants. This is very very good but will need time, a vin de garde.
