Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Latricieres Chambertin 2021

The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a perfumed floral lavender-scented bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit. It does not quite achieve the focus of Faiveley's Mazis-Chambertin but builds nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, quite saline from the get-go with ample grip. Structured and linear, peppery with an almost feisty finish, I am sure that time will tame this. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
