FINE+RARE, Oct 2024
As with Fourrier’s Latricières-Chambertin, this old-vine plot (a stately 70 years) is up against the Route des Grands Crus. Violet and rose perfume mingle with sweet purple fruit – a wine that is full of juicy intensity. The tannins are subtle but powerful, building gradually to provide grip then washed away by the wine’s mouthwatering acidity. The fruit drives through to a long, persistent finish. Structured yet dainty, a wine of finesse.
About the producer
