Tasting notes
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.

Mid cherry. Subtly and deliciously perfumed with dark-red fruit. Supple and relatively light on the palate, not obviously grand cru intensity but all in harmony for a mid-term future. (JH)
The 2015 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, which Florian Remy remarked was his favorite this year, has a light, harmonious red cherry, strawberry and bergamot-scented bouquet that is not as intense as others, although has fine focus. The palate is marked by very fine tannin, nicely focused with great tension, but does not shortchange in terms of fruit and precision on the long finish. This comes recommended and it is easily my own pick from the domaine all well.
