Latricieres-Chambertin

Brisk, bright purple, the nose is very backward. Some weight with good intensity, the best is at the back, which offers red fruit and some brambly notes. This has good length but is not a massive wine. Light on its feet with a good finish, it is an elegant expression of Latricières. 
Jasper Morris, MW - Wine Buyer

It was difficult at the start and difficult at the end but OK in between”, says Nicolas, who began harvesting on 6th October. Younger vines flowered better, giving more volume than 2012, and only the Beaune vineyards were hailed on. There were no grave problems with rot, and they avoided heavy extraction as the colour came easily enough. Nicolas noted that cool vintages such as 2013 are best for terroir definition, and certainly the hallmark of his wines this year is elegance, and precision.

Burgundy 2011 En Primeur Best Buys - Grand Crus
Near to Clos de la Roche, this has a real intensity of rich fruit sweetness and a huge amount of Grand Cru finesse in each glass. Perfumed and full of promise, the tannin, texture, structure and acidity are perfectly balanced right through the long finish.
Laura Atkinson, Private Account Manager

Very perfumed on the nose this year and quite sensual, it is a fine result. 50% stems offer roses and graceful red fruit on a very suave palate with several layers of fruit and a lingering finish.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director

The early growing season in 2011 was beneficial to ripening the stems, so Nicolas and David Rossignol opted to use more this year, as they also did in 2009. The wines below were made with 25% stems in general and up to 50% for the Grand Crus. This will have influenced the structure of the wines, but it does not show in the fruit profile. The Rossignols continue to develop their style towards finesse, especially in the finish of their wines and these show very good result this year.

As usual, from a combination of contract grapes and purchased wine (with the same sources here since 2003), the Camille Giroud 2008 Latricieres-Chambertin presents peat and black pepper, crushed stone, and ripe, lightly-cooked cherry in a lovely nose, rich yet tart palate impression, with a pungently smoky, peppery, and stony finish.

It lacks the sweetness and charm of the Charmes but its formidable density and grip backed by abundant fine-grained tannin suggests a wine worth forgetting in the cellar for a few years and that should hold up well for 12-15.

This Latricires-Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Rossignol-Trapet has beautiful, elegant, deep red fruit and is very graceful and subtle. The fine fruit stretches all the way to a lovely finish with an amazingly perfumed aftertaste.

Sadly just one barrel was made of this Latricières but it is, once again, a lovely wine. Raspberries and crushed strawberries dominate the senses; it is very sensual from start to finish, and very long. Extremely limited availability.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director These are brilliant wines once again from David Croix and his team at Camille Giroud and fortunately they were able to make a little more wine this year than last. Alhough the white selection is small, the wines are just as fine as the reds. David has made some inspirational wines from less fancied appellations such as Maranges and Santenay, as well as majoring on the Grands Crus of Corton and the Chambertins. Almost all of the wines are from purchased grapes, but somehow Camille Giroud feels to us much more like a domaine.
