2014 LATRICIÈRES CHAMBERTIN GRAND CRU DROUHIN LAROZE - 6x75cl

Tasting Notes

  Goedhuis, December 2015

  Latricières Chambertin sits next door to Le Chambertin, but has slightly richer and deeper soil which explains its more flamboyant richness when young. Always a Grand Cru that one can drink a little earlier, yet one that maintains very good depth and drive. This will age extremely well.

  The 2014 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has an attractive nose: more vibrant and nuanced than the Chapelle-Chambertin with more mineralité filtering through those lifted black and red fruit. The palate is crisp and tensile with fine tannin, juicy black fruit with just a touch of citrus lemon towards the finish. Yes, there is a bit of new oak to be assimilated (60%) but once it does, this will be a very fine Latricières that exudes class and a nascent sense of energy. Drink 2018-2032

  Score: 90-92

  Fresh and relatively bright red berry fruit aromas laced with earth and wet stone nuances are trimmed in a noticeable if not aggressive toastiness. There is good underlying tension to the well-detailed and intense medium-bodied flavors that possess good punch on the overtly mineral-driven finale that exhibits slightly better overall depth and length and marginally firmer tannins. Drink 2026+

Producer

Domaine Drouhin Laroze

This substantial Gevrey Chambertin domaine is under the guardianship of a collaborative family team: Philippe Drouhin is ably assisted by son and daughter Nicolas and Caroline. First established in 1850, the domaine has major holdings in Gevrey Chambertin, as well as an impressive array of the Côte de Nuits’s grands crus, stretching from Gevrey down through Chambolle Musginy and into Vougeot. Recent investment at the domaine’s barrel hall will continue to drive quality at Drouhin Laroze. Their style falls somewhere between a modernist and a traditionalist. The wines are ripe, concentrated, and often earthy and textured. They offer terrific value, particularly in Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.
