Latricières Chambertin, Domaine Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux 2012

Like the Reignots this is closed and brooding at present though aggressive swirling grudgingly liberates cool, pure and airy red berry fruit scents along with a profusion of floral elements that are also trimmed in a discreet application of wood. There is a lovely sense of energy and underlying tension to the intensely mineral-driven, focused, precise and driving medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a moderately austere and gorgeously sustained finale. This is very Latricières and should age accordingly. Drink: 2027+Note: from a .53 ha parcel; 80% whole cluster
