David Duband, Latricieres Chambertin other_regions_australia cassis and plum that exhibit(from a . 30 ha parcel). A cool, airy and super elegant nose reflects aromas of spice, red currant and various red berries. The gorgeously textured and chiseled middle weight flavors seem to be built on a base of minerality, all wrapped in dusty, backward and overtly austere finish that also delivers huge length. This is a classic and beautiful Latricires that makes clear it will take its sweet time maturing.
