The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a beautifully-defined bouquet, crushed stone infusing the vivid red fruit, hints of pressed rose petals and a touch of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, a fine bead of acidity, quite structured and harmonious, a delicate touch of spice with a strict, linear, quintessentially Latricières finish. Sophisticated, but serious.

With elegance at its core, David Duband Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019, meticulously crafted by renowned winemaker David Duband, is the epitome of fine Burgundy. Nestled in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, this Grand Cru hails from a small domain that prides itself on biodynamic farming and low-intervention techniques. The plump 50-year-old Pinot Noir vines produce a longer growing cycle, resulting in concentrated fruits and deeper flavours.

The 2019 vintage promises a sublime balance of power and freshness, enveloped in notes of dark cherry, spices, and damp earth. The hand-harvested grapes undergo partial whole-cluster fermentation, adding complexity to the palate. David Duband's signature style of finesse and structure is beautifully exhibited in this Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019. A wine that not only pays homage to its rich terrains but manifests an unforgettable drinking experience.

The David Duband Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru 2019 portrays a testament to meticulous winemaking with delicate ageing in French oak barrels.

The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has more cohesion and intensity than the Charmes-Chambertin, presenting lovely brambly red berry fruit mingled with potpourri and light loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, taut and crisp, displaying good depth and an animated chalky, briny finish. Classic in style, this is a superb Latricières from Faiveley, though it will need cellaring.

Immerse yourself in the indulgence of the Laurent Ponsot Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvee du Palmier 2019.

The result is an atypically late-bottled, unfined, unfiltered, meticulously crafted wine. It boasts an aromatic elegance of dark cherries and forest floor, leading to a deeply concentrated palate laden with silky tannins, balanced acidity and fantastic depth.
