Tasting notes
The demure, blackberry aromas of the medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Latricieres-Chambertin lead to a masculine, highly structured, and firm personality. This wine is intense, loaded with stony blackberry fruits and roasted black currants. This dense, powerful, chewy wine should be at its peak of maturity between 2006 and 2018. Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800.

Deep, bright ruby. Slightly inky aromas of black cherry, currant, roast coffee and pungent oak. Extremely primary, almost grapey, but already boasts great clarity and intensity of flavor. Powerful minerality contributes to the wine definition and grip. Offers the medium weight and compelling laciness of texture of this grand cru. Less expressive today than the Clos de la Roche but perhaps ultimately more noble. Finishes firmly tannic, with great subtle persistence. A superb early showing for this wine.
