2022 Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Faiveley

2022 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 2022 exudes freshly-sliced red fruit, scents of raspberry and red plum. There is a fleshy weight in the mid-palate but also a delicious bite to the fruit on the finish. A very accomplished example of the vintage.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru is missing the same cohesion and presence as the Latricières at the moment, though it has an attractive rose bush/potpourri scent that emerges with time. The medium-bodied palate has a tad more angularity than the Latricières and fine mineralité, edgy and linear with a strict, tensile, lightly spiced finish. What you might term a "grower", aloof, but the sapidity draws you back. Excellent.

The 2022 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has slightly blacker fruit on the nose compared to the Echézeaux. It’s a little conservative, as Latricières often is, but delineated with well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with an elegant entry, refined with sutured and pliant tannins. A more delicate Latricières than expected with pleasing mineralité on the finish. This should gain weight during élevage and become a delicious, refined Grand Cru.

Mid crimson with some depth. Dark raspberry, a little soupy at the moment but with good depth behind. The fruit covers the structure, as the tannins are fairly firm. The raspberries freshen up, gain in precision compared to the first mouthful. Not perhaps showing at its best on the day – there may well be more too this. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.

A fine mid crimson. The fruit has a little more body on the nose than the Echezeaux, as should be the case. This has some nuances, and the fruit is a little drier, but this one has the depth which was not always present in some of the others. This is heading in the right direction. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.
