Simon Bize Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2019 (750ML)

93-95+ WA / 93-95 JM

The finest rendition of the domaine's lone red grand cru that I can remember tasting, Bize's 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru offers up aromas of peonies, cassis, Indian spices, caramelized orange rind and coniferous forest floor that are deeper-pitched than those of its Côte de Beaune stablemate. Medium to full-bodied, layered and richly tannic, it's supple and charming, with a deep core of fruit, lively acids and a long, floral finish.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Medium deep red purple, the nose takes coaxing, reticent at first, but there is clearly volume behind. The grapes come across as riper after the range of Savigny 1ers Crus, though there is still no real sign of heat, just a heavier texture. I would love to see this wine in a line up with other Latricières. Tasted: October 2020.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
