Tasting notes
Faiveley has a 1.2-hectare plot of this Grand Cru and it’s always one of our favourites at the domaine. The soils here are incredibly stony, with very little topsoil, creating – as winemaker Jérôme Flous describes it – a red for those who like white. The 2023 is so attractive – alluring with delicate floral aromatics and juicy raspberry fruit. Everything is so precise and à point here. There’s a lightness to the palate, with weightless structure, chalky minerality that complements the sweet cherry fruit and hints of white pepper. Long and fine-boned, a wine of effortless power.

Moderate wood influence suffuses the cool, airy and pretty peppery and spicy aromas of rose petal, red currant and wet stone. The gorgeously textured, even lilting, middle weight flavors ooze minerality on the strikingly long and youthfully austere finale that could again use more depth. Even so, this is pretty much textbook Latricières.
Insiders know how good this cuvée is chez Faiveley, and the 2023 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is another excellent rendition, offering up aromas of sweet wild berries, rose petals, orange zest and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but ethereal palate that's refined, precise and mineral. Jérôme Flous and his team can't seem to put a foot wrong at Faiveley; and given the high level of vineyard management and skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar, I think it's fair to say this is one of the finest larger domaine and négociant operations in Burgundy in terms of both quality and consistency. The 2023 vintage has delivered a crop of supple, sensual reds and fleshy but precise whites that will offer broad drinking windows.
