One of the earliest ripening vineyards of Chambertin, Latricieres may lack the depth of Clos de Beze but what is lacking in structure is more than made up for in the pure fruit and spice achieved. An excellent example of this lesser known Grand Cru.

The most feminine of the Grand Crus at this Domaine. The fruit displays an elegant character and the wine is one of the first to mature. Delicious at present, but will continue to hold in bottle for a further 5 – 10 years.

On the first visit to Phillipe’s cellar we were amazed to find a wall of barrels of Bonnes Mares! The 1997 vintage is now at perfection and displays elegance and finesse together with power and developed fruit, making this a wonderful bottle for lovers of fine mature Burgundy.

A big chunky wine from this wonderful parcel of vines in a perfect vineyard situation. It displays full and ripe fruit, complex and rich undertones and an impressive structure capable of imparting great age. A wonderful example of what is oftern, from other producers, a dilute wine.

Lovely intense ruby colour with violet highlights. Good brightness and clarity. Complex nose of well-ripened cherry and liquorice. This pleasant quality is present in the mouth along with softened tannins. The finish coats the mouth with its sugariness.

This wonderful Grand Cru from Chambolle is intensely rich in fruit and spice with layer after layer of complexity on the palate and an aftertaste that seems to last an eternity. It’s difficult to put into words just how amazing this bottle is.
