Tasting notes
The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has an endearing bouquet with clean red berry fruit, beautifully defined with sous-bois and dried rose petals. It is very sensual, but it does not have the precision of Launay Horiot's. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit, structured and foursquare like a Latricières ought to be. Sour cherry mixed with orange rind appears towards the slightly drier finish. This deserves four or five years in bottle. The 2020 soars above expectations, and it is not the only Trapet wine to do so. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, which was picked around 7 September, has a vibrant nose with a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed stone (basalt?) and faint liquorice scents in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, cohesive and with great depth. There is just a touch of oak to be subsumed on the finish, so give this 4-6 years in bottle.
The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is striking, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, exotic spices, sweet soil tones, orange rind, smoked duck and peonies. Full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's concentrated and multidimensional, with a lively spine of acidity, superb depth at the core, and a long, perfumed finish.
