Faiveley Latrici?res-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 comes from a 1.21-hectare parcel in the southernmost Grand Cru of Gevrey-Chambertin. Known in the Middle Ages as ?Petite Merveille?, Latrici?res-Chambertin combines minerality reminiscent of Clos de la Roche with the depth of Chambertin. The vines, planted in 1958, 1984 and 1989, have eastern exposure and grow on shallow limestone-rich soils with a layer of silica. The vineyard is currently undergoing organic conversion.
Vinification
The wine is made with partial whole cluster fermentation and daily punching down throughout a 19-day vatting period. It is aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 60% of which are new. No fining is used, and the wine receives light filtration using the lenticular module process. This careful handling preserves structure, purity and the mineral depth of Latrici?res-Chambertin.
Tasting Note
Intense ruby red in colour. The nose is complex, with rich roasted notes and spice. The palate opens with rich, silky tannins, building into a powerful and complex structure. Full-bodied and precise, it combines depth with mineral tension and fine aromatic persistence. The finish is long, structured and age-worthy, showing the balance and intensity expected of a Gevrey-Chambertin Grand Cru.
Food Pairing
Pair with roast game, venison, beef, lamb, duck, mushroom dishes, truffle sauces, aged cheeses or classic fine dining meat courses.
