Latricières-Chambertin is one of eight grand cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, making this red wine highly priced and coveted. The terroir contributes to bold and expressive pinot noir, thanks to the small, concentrated berries. From 2017 to 2021, Domaine Duroché Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has tripled in price and now costs $500+ per bottle.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A magical young wine the 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with scents of peonies sweet red berries plums exotic spices and licorice. Medium to full-bodied supple and melting its satiny attack segues into an ample enveloping core of succulent perfumed fruit framed by powdery tannins and girdled by lively acids. The 2019 unites the immense charm of the 2017 vintage with the depth and concentration of 2015 in an irresistible combination. It hasn't yet shut down after bottling and I'm not sure it ever will.
