🏰 The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru from Launay-Horiot is noted for its 【delightful bouquet and more vigor than the producer's Pommards】. It has been described as having a strict, stony, and quite austere nose, with fruit that is tightly coiled and will require time to unfold. Despite the challenging 2021 vintage in Burgundy, this wine is atypical, seeming to come from a warmer season. Expect red cherries and white-tipped strawberry, with fine delineation and crunchy red fruit on the palate. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins, very well-judged acidity, and a saline and marine-influenced finish. Hints of cracked black pepper and clove linger on the aftertaste. Jasper Morris notes plumper fruit, a drier finish with higher acidity, ripe cherries, fresh raspberry, superb length, and much gentler tannins. 🍴 This elegant Grand Cru Pinot Noir would be exquisite with classic French cuisine such as roasted duck breast with cherry sauce, coq au vin, or mushroom risotto. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses. 🥂 A superb choice for a formal dinner, a special anniversary celebration, or a serious wine tasting. Its complexity and aging potential make it a wine to be savored and discussed.
