Tasting notes
The 2013 Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more expressive bouquet vis-a-vis when I tasted the 2012 last year. Here, one finds touches of maraschino cherries, wild strawberry and undergrowth all beautifully defined, vivacious and ebullient. The palate is supremely focused and symmetrical, the tannin lacy and the texture so silky you might well mistake it for, say, a Romanee Saint Vivant. This is one of the finest Latricieres-Chambertins that I have tasted from Leroy.

Great nervosité. Race and only underneath is the richness obvious. A hint of leather and just lovely energy. Complete and great balance. So rich underneath it all! A fan of savoury flavours but overall masses of fruit. (JR)
