2011 Latricieres Chambertin

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2011 has a refined, nicely focused bouquet with cranberry, fresh strawberry and lightly spiced fruit that build nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with bright red cherry and strawberry fruit, tangy marmalade and plenty of spice toward the fleshy, candied finish. This is very pretty, but probably not armed with greatest longevity vis-à-vis its peers. eRobertParker.com.November, 2014
