A more deeply pitched yet still ultra-elegant nose that speaks of the almost pungent minerality that characterizes this outstanding wine from tip to tail. There is a purity and transparency that is beautiful to see as this is a textbook example of a fine Latricières, all wrapped in a dusty, linear and harmonious finish. This is unusually precise for the vintage and possesses excellent potential but note that this restrained example will likely not reveal all of its potential for at least a decade and more probably two.
Less saturated medium red than the Chapelle. Cool, vibrant aromas of blueberry, blackberry, boysenberry and menthol, with some red cherry emerging with air. Wonderfully silky on entry, then firm and insinuating in the mid-palate, with a seamless texture and perfumed high notes. The very long, aromatic finish really leaves the palate vibrating. A great Latricieres. Trapet suggests drinking this "now or in 60 years."
The 2009 Latricieres-Chambertin is fresh, vibrant and impeccably harmonious. Dark cherries, crushed flowers, minerals and mint emerge from a beautifully articulated, mid-weight frame. All of the elements are very nicely balanced in this first-class, elegant Latricieres. The finish is long, refined and weightless. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2049.
