Latricières Chambertin, Launay-Horiot 2016

Once again there is a whisper of wood sitting atop the very cool, elegant and restrained aromas of plum liqueur, spice, earth and a variety of floral scents. Consistent with the nose the middle weight and even more intensely mineral-driven flavors are restrained and chiseled while displaying first-rate if sneaky long persistence. This refined built-to-age but not especially austere effort is textbook Latricières. Note: from a .17 ha parcel at the top of the vineyard that abuts Chambertin Drink: 2031+
