2016 Latricieres Chambertin

Tasting notes
The 2016 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on 3 October, blended with 35% whole bunch fruit and matured in 40% new oak. I appreciate the nose here: very well defined, nicely focused, a mixture of red and black fruit, a little conservative and straightlaced like Latricières should be. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and crisp acidity, harmonious and poised with a really classy and sophisticated finish that is a joy. One of the best from Albert Bichot this year. Recommended.

Wonderfully perfumed nose that has both cranberry and wild raspberry fruit plus violets and spices. Very promising lift on the finish with a long, gradual fade out. Not at all showy, this revels in its savoury restraint and softly spoken intensity. (RH)
