Latricieres Chambertin Duroche 2017 (750ML)

92-94+ Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is lovely, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, rose petal, raspberries, candied peel and sweet, loamy soil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, built around a bright line of acidity, with a succulent core and ripe, velvety tannins. For a site that is typically quite tensile, this is a comparatively open-knit Latricières but I suspect it will be long-lived." 01/19

93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has quite a "bullish" nose with blackberry, wild hedgerow, clove and autumn leaf aromas that stride out of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh line of acidity, touches of orange rind tincturing the red berry fruit. This gently builds in the mouth to a fairly intense red berry, autumn leaf and tobacco tinged finish that lingers for 45 seconds. Excellent." 01/19

91-93 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A more elegant, cooler and more restrained nose hesitantly gives up its array of plum, violet, lavender, spice and freshly turned earth scents. There is excellent punch and detail to the even stonier medium weight plus flavors that culminate in a chiseled, youthfully austere and very serious finish. This will require at least some patience as it's quite firm." 01/19

93-96 Points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy: "They are at the northern end, abutting Chambertin and so further from the combe. 4 barrels this year, a record! Clear bright purple, lovely intensity here without being exaggerated, minerals behind, then a wealth of red and black fruit, properly long. Dark lush red fruit, ripe dark cherries. Tasted: November 2018." 11/18
