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.

Medium full purple, this has a lively full raspberry note without exaggeration. There is a just a little bit of white pepper here too, like the Lavaux, but it doesn’t come from whole bunch. This follows through very well on the palate, with great length and perfect balance, and just a touch more fruit volume than the Echezeaux.
Cask sample. Mid cherry. Open, scented, seductively sweet and fresh. Less seductive on the palate, with a slight rubbery note – maybe a touch reductive? The tannins show great finesse even though the whole is extremely embryonic. Chewy, dry, not really ready to taste, let alone drink.
