Tasting notes
Very complex and deep nose of super ripe forest berries and sous bois with fine vanilla oak. The palate is concentrated and elegant, in spite of the serious tannins and crisp acidity. Long and polished finish. Try in 2021.

The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is endowed with impressive intensity on a nose of blackberry, raspberry and scorched earth scents, becoming more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit and a caressing, sensual finish. Maybe one of the earlier-drinking Latricières, but well-crafted and enjoyable.
35% whole-bunch fermented. Aged in oak barrels (50% new) for 16 months. Cask sample. Black cherry compote, fine tannic fuzz and deep, rich, layered fruit on the finish. Precious little other flavour can escape at present, but time will surely coax it out. (RH)
