This climat was called "Petite Merveille" (Little Wonder) in the Middle Ages, a sign of the high quality of the wines produced here. "Latricières-Chambertin" dates back to 1508 and is the most southern Grand Cru in Gevrey-Chambertin. This wine reveals exceptional balance between minerality (reminiscent of Clos de la Roche) and depth (close in style to a Chambertin).
Intense ruby red hue and complex nose offering rich roasted notes and spice. The palate opens up with rich, silky tannins that give way to a powerful and complex structure.
Burghound 92-94: Moderate wood influence suffuses the cool, airy and pretty peppery and spicy aromas of rose petal, red currant and wet stone. The gorgeously textured, even lilting, middle weight flavors ooze minerality on the strikingly long and youthfully austere finale that could again use more depth. Even so, this is pretty much textbook Latricières.
Wine Advocate 94-96: Insiders know how good this cuvée is chez Faiveley, and the 2023 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is another excellent rendition, offering up aromas of sweet wild berries, rose petals, orange zest and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but ethereal palate that's refined, precise and mineral.
