The Latriciere Chambertin 1991 from Jean and Jean-Louis Trapet is a old school and somewhat rustic Burgundy. In the nose red and dark berry fruit – raspberries with some sweeter red fruit notes – spiced with truffle peels, sous-bois and tar. On the palate quite intense and edgy with plenty of grip and tannins – the fruit is somewhat rustic with some slightly disturbing hints of prune. Love the minerality, but the overall impression is a bit to rustic for my taste – nevertheless a nice mature Burgundy.
