This is what makes Burgundy so special its so easy to enjoy, with amazing black-cherry fruit, yet its so deep and complex. Wonderful richness, below which lies a major tannin structure, then the minerality and lively acidity kick in and push this out in the direction of infinity. Makes you glad to be alive!

Wine Enthusiast
This wine\’s profoundly ripe black-plum and cassis flavors and svelte, spirited demeanor make it a fantastic expression of the appellation. Despite a maturation of 10 to 12 months in 100% oak, it\’s pristine in fruit, finishing on lingering notes of crushed white pepper and a salty, mineral crush. At peak from 2025 through 2040, the wine will hold longer.

Wine Spectator
A lush, vibrant and sophisticated version, exhibiting pure cherry, raspberry, mint and floral aromas and flavors shaded by mineral and tobacco notes. Powerful yet refined, this has fine balance and ends in a cascade of fruit, mineral and spice. Shows tension between its power and finesse. Best from 2026 through 2045.

The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru Cuve Heritiers Latour is very promising, mingling notes of berries and rose petals with hints of rich soil tones, warm spices and licorice. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it\’s beautifully balanced and complete, with ripe tannins and a long, precise finish.

Moderate reduction knocks down the underlying fruit though there is fine energy and freshness to the slightly bigger flavors that are less caressing but more mineral-driven before culminating in a delineated, youthfully austere and sneaky long finish.
