FAIVELEY - Latricières-Chambertin Grand cru - 2015

FAIVELEY

Latricières-Chambertin Grand cru 2015

(from a very large 1.21 ha parcel). A ripe yet airy and cool nose offers up aromas of essence of red and dark raspberry with plenty of floral influence along with subtle spice, earth and herbal tea nuances. There is terrific concentration to the rich and remarkably concentrated medium weight plus flavors that brim with both minerality and sappy dry
extract, all wrapped in a saline, balanced and highly persistent finish that just doesn’t stop. I often have a very small preference for the Mazis chez Faiveley but in 2015 the Latricières may very well better it.

À propos de Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
