Arnoux-Lachaux first produced this Grand Cru in 2007. It originates from the purchase of a 0.53-hectare parcel of 58-year-old vines that borders Clos de la Roche. This is the highest, coolest part of the Grand Cru, with a section of the vines surrounded by woods on three sides. The rocky parcel is ploughed by horse and produces outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy every year. This was crafted from yields of just 7.5 hl/ha and fermented with 100% whole bunches and 10% new oak. The 2020 is a floral, lifted wine with great freshness and harmony. It shows the coolness of the site in its freshness and red-fruited persona despite the warmth of the year. In fact, this wine is all about tension, line and perfume. There is good, powdery structure, but it’s very, very fine. As the notes below make clear, this is a Grand Cru wine of great class.

Reviews

“The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru was cropped at a derisory seven hectoliters per hectare, and yet, the wine remains remarkably classically proportioned, without the compact profile and exaggerated concentration that vineyards cropped at such low yields can often produce. Mingling aromas of cherries, raspberries and plums with hints of sweet spices, rose petals and creamy oak, it's full-bodied, layered and sensual, with a deep, enveloping mid-palate, tangy acids and a long, mineral finish. This is Lachaux's finest Latricières to date.”
97 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
“Latricières is the last plot to be picked, having a very stony soil on firm limestone rock, cool air and shade. The 2020 displays one of the deepest purple colours in the range. Saline notes even on the nose. A slight iron blood orange character too. The fresher aspects sing through the volume of the fruit, more acidity than tannin at the back. Definitely one to put away for many years. Brooding. Drink from 2030-2040.”
