Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2015

Lobenberg: Viel ätherische Noten. Dann Minze, Sauerkirsche und Pfeffer. Die fast 50% Neuholzanteil sind bestens integriert, kaum wahrnehmbar. Am Gaumen ist das ausladend, charmant. Was für ein Grand Cru! Ein echtes Brett und dann mit dem Potenzial des Jahrgangs 2015. Sicherlich zählt dieser Grand Cru zu den ganz Großen des Jahrgangs. 97-98/100

-- Galloni: (13.8% natural alcohol; entirely destemmed; 45% new oak): Healthy dark red-ruby. Captivating exotic spices currently dominate the nose. Plush, saline, soil-driven wine, offering a rare balance of sheer layered ripeness and pronounced minerality. This big boy is more savory than sweet, and its substantial ripe tannins are totally buffered by mid-palate stuffing. Erwan Faiveley described this wine as his favorite of the vintage, while technical directlor Jerome Flous called it his "desert island wine." This cool site has clearly benefited from the extra density brought by the conditions of 2015. 93-96/100

-- Suckling: In spite of the very ripe plums and black cherries on the nose, this has a lot of smoky and flinty notes. Cool, firm and minerally on the palate, and a lot of drive at the finish. This has a couple of decades of aging potential if you can resist it now. 95/100
