Latricières-Chambertin is a Grand Cru set on the limestone slope that lies immediately alongside Chambertin. Its producer, Domaine Jean-Louis Trapet, is a distinguished Gevrey-Chambertin estate that was among the earliest to practise biodynamics. 2019 is regarded as a year of modest yields but outstanding balance between concentration and acidity, and the wine has come out with both density of fruit and a taut structural tension — a Grand Cru made with long ageing in view.

Tasting note

Deep, purple-tinged garnet in appearance. On the nose, black fruit (blackberry, cassis) rises in layers with liquorice, spice and mineral nuances. On the palate, concentrated fruit is firmly supported by taut acidity and tannins, giving a sense of fine-grained, powerful structure. The finish is exceptionally long, with spice and black-fruit flavours carrying through undiminished. Typical of 2019 and its fine balance of concentration and acidity, its high potential is already apparent, though ageing it until around 2035 will bring out its true worth.

Food pairings

• Veal braised in red wine
• Game with sauce poivrade
• Aged Comté cheese

Viticulture and winemaking

• Among the earliest to take up biodynamic farming, from the early 1990s
• As a response to climate change, the northern Rhône-derived échalas staked training system has been introduced in part of the vineyards (about 15%)
• In the early stage of fermentation, pigeage (punching down) is carried out to limit extraction
• In the later stage, this is switched to gentler remontage (pumping over)
• The proportion of new oak is adjusted within a range of 20–50% according to the classification of the vineyard
• Latricières-Chambertin is a limestone vineyard adjoining Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin
