Tasting notes
The 2016 Latricières-Chambertin is the most weightless and ethereal of the Grand Crus. It is also one of the many highlights in this range. Aromatically deep, silky and impossibly long on the palate, the Latricières is simply breathtaking in its statuesque beauty. Time in the glass brings out silkiness and stunning persistence that leads into the finely sculpted finish.

The 2016 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is brilliant, and one of the high points both of the portfolio and this great Côte de Nuits vintage. The wine unfurls in the glass with a captivating but youthfully reserved bouquet of rose petals, violets, blood orange, cherries and cassis, with only hints of the savory forest floor and spice to come with bottle age. On the palate, it's full-bodied, bottomlessly deep and immensely concentrated, with an animating line of acidity that is classic Latricières, framed by exceptionally fine, powdery tannins, its finish long and unerringly precise.
