Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Latriciere Chambertin 2015

By -

The Latriciere Chambertin is from the very southern part of this Grand Cru – from a plot located separately at the top of the slope into the woods next to Clos de la Roche i.e. above the rest of Latrichere – a lovely cool place in a vintage like 2015. This is a brilliant wine .. although slightly reduced .. offering the cool and vibrant side of the 2015 vintage. In the bouquet lovely juicy red fruit – raspberries, red cherries, red currant and pomegranate – focused by the filigree minerality of the refined Latricieres terroir. On the palate elegant and refined with a almost velvet and silky mid-palate fruit – courtesy of the 100% whole cluster grapes .. its long, delicate and gorgeously hedonistic .. what a magnificent wine – Outstanding+ (95 – 96p).

Vins d’émotion – wines that offer joy and hedonistic thrills

The principle with vins d’émotion is that they bring you extraordinary joy and hedonistic thrills.  A wine can be great, and at the same time not quite be a vin d’émotion.

All wines that evoke these emotional responses deserve a recommendation, and I have created four levels of emotional recommendation: from the true and rare vin d’émotion to wines with some emotional potential.

A true vin d’émotion – a Burgundy of passion
