FAIVELEY

Latricières-Chambertin Grand cru 2020

- 95 points -

Ripe curranty fruit, with notes of earth, wild herbs and liquorice. The texture initially seems silky and approachable, but with time the underlying tannins and extract make themselves felt. From the 1.25ha Faiveley holds in Latricières. The team relates that the heat of the summer blocked the maturation in August due to water stress. Rains at the end of the month, however, helped the fruit finish ripening. The final result was partially destemmed prior to fermentation and ageing in 50% new casks.
