Latricières-Chambertin is a medium-sized Grand Cru in Geyrey-Chambertin with a total area of 6.8 hectares. 1.2 hectares of which belong to Faiveley. The Latricieres is said to have power, opulence and elegance. In the Middle Ages it was known under the name "Petite Merveille" (=little miracle), which already indicates a high quality of the wine. This wine combines the minerality of the Clos de la Roche with the depth of a Chambertin, they say at Faiveley.
2021 was a classic cooler vintage with fresh red wines that have a superb balance of body and structure. You are expected to live a long life. Unfortunately, there are only very small amounts of it.
Faiveleys Latricieres 2021 spent eighteen months in barriques that are 60% new and 40% in second use casks. It shows a rather dark Pinot color, ripe red and dark berries, toasted notes and spices on the nose. On the palate it is very complex, fresh and precise, very typical of 2021, with plenty of depth, as befits a Grand Cru. The ripe tannins give the powerful wine its structure and are always balanced by the extract. A royal wine.
