Domaine Faiveley Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2016

Domaine Faiveley Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2016Here too the wood treatment is subtle yet just prominent enough to warrant pointing out on the cool, pure and notably more sauvage nose of both red and dark wild berry and earth scents. There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension suffusing the much more mineral driven middle weight flavors that are not quite as rich but notably more precise on the chiseled and wonderfully refined finish. Textbook.

In spite of this

It is rich and pure

Note that the structure is almost completely resolved

This will live for decades and need at least 10 to 15 to be approachable with pleasure

Dense ruby/purple in color

The wine is full-bodied

with a toasty profile to the peach

elegant and bright floral-suffused nose features notes of cool blue pinot fruit

This is very definitely and 'buy and forget it somewhere deep in the cellar' wine

The tannin is buried beneath an amazing amount of concentration

a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon
