Latricières-Chambertin is a medium-sized Grand Cru in Geyrey-Chambertin (6.8 ha), which is said to have power, opulence and elegance. In the Middle Ages it was called "Petite Merveille" (little miracle), which suggests that the quality was high even then. It combines the minerality of a Clos de la Roche with the depth of a Chambertin, says Faiveley.
Rarity from the winery's reserve. Always well stored. From the warm 2009 vintage, harvested early enough by Faiveley to preserve its elegance and freshness.
Faiveleys Latricieres spent 18 months in barriques, 60% new and 40% second use. It shows a rather dark Pinot color, toasted notes, spices and ripe dark berries on the nose. Very complex on the palate and with plenty of depth, the ripe tannins give the wine structure and are always balanced by the extract. A royal wine.
