Tasting notes
The exceptional 2002 Latricieres-Chambertin bursts with tarragon, red cherry, raspberry, and iris aromas. Medium to full-bodied, powerful, and mouth-coating, it is gorgeously ripe, lush, and intense. Strikingly, this wine tasted like a bottled wine, more evolved and complete than any other in the tasting (Lardiere explained that it was the first to have completed its malo-lactic fermentation and was therefore ready for bottling before the others). Sweet red cherries, candied raspberries, earth, roasting spices, and cinnamon can be discerned in its complex character. In addition, its long, fruit-filled finish reveals copious exquisitely ripened tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300

About the producer

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
