2020 Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

2020 Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

Latricières always feels a little cooler than Charmes Chambertin, its neighbouring grand cru. A gentle but cool breeze draws down the valley, keeping freshness and minerality in the grapes. The 2020 has a distinctive cool crushed raspberry scent, with floral notes. It has a beautiful weight in the mid-palate. Another brilliant example of the vintage.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is one of the best Faiveley wines on the nose: very good definition and mineralité here, poised and focused, not short-changing anyone in terms of power. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity and grip with a dense and quite weighty finish, yet it manages to maintain finesse. Uncompromising...in a good way.
