2019 Latricieres Chambertin

The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, which is undergoing renovation in the vineyard, was quite reduced on the nose compared to the Chapelle-Chambertin, rendering the aromatics difficult to read. The palate is well balanced with a slightly lactic opening, sweet dark chocolate notes and espresso slightly occluding the fruit and the terroir expression. I will defer judgment for now.
