Tasting notes
The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a lovely bouquet, with crushed violet and rose petal infusing the delineated and supremely well-focused black fruit aromas. The oak is very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, slightly savory with touches of allspice and pain d’épices, and edgy, with just a very slight attenuation toward the finish. It's a Latricières that is just starting its engines. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is the finest rendition of this cuvée I've ever tasted from Trapet. Unfurling in the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet that mingles dark berry fruit with nuances of coniferous forest floor, peonies, bergamot and exotic spices, it's full-bodied, layered and velvety, with terrific depth and concentration, framed by powdery tannins and animated by a lively spine of acidity that carries through the mouthwateringly mineral finish. I wrote that Trapet's 2018 Latricières was worth a special effort to seek out—I'm happy to have some in my cellar—and that applies a fortiori to this brilliant 2019.
The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, which contains around 60% whole bunch, has a well-defined bouquet of ebullient dark berry fruit laced with light woodland and earthy scents. So much vigor and coiled-up energy! The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful balance, supple tannins, perfectly judged acidity and a crescendo of flavors toward the splendid, mineral-driven finish. The cooler microclimate really benefited this cuvée in 2019, and it is one of the Trapet’s finest contributions to the vintage.
