Latricieres Chambertin, Domaine Arnoux Lachaux 2019

Description

By Jasper Morris in 2021 (JM97)

Glowing fresh purple, this has a gorgeously sensual bouquet, some perfect raspberries, fresh roses, a few peonies, really subtle and engagingly supple. Another wave of fruit comes over, less floral, now perhaps some clean-cut ripe strawberries. Brilliantly delineated the fruit stretching right though to the finish across the fine-grained tannins. Once again, the acidity, scarcely noticeable, is evidently there in just the right proportion.

The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has also turned out brilliantly. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of red berries, plums and pomegranate mingled with orange rind, sweet spices, rose petals and forest floor, it’s medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, with an ample core of fruit framed by lively acids and exquisitely refined tannins. One of the most elegant and precise wines in the range, it’s worth a special effort to seek out.
