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.

The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is also showing superbly from bottle, unfurling to reveal scents of rose petals, cherries, raspberries, spices, licorice and forest floor. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny-textured and elegant, with a lively spine of acidity, a deep core and a penetrating, sapid finish. While this will be approachable young, it will reward patience.
