Faiveley 2021 Latricieres-Chambertin 750ml

A more elegant, and strikingly pure, if less spice-suffused nose speaks of essence of red cherry, discreet earth and a hint of forest floor trimmed in a whiff of wood. The delicious and vibrant middleweight flavors possess even better delineation and more obvious minerality on the youthfully austere finish that also reflects a hint of bitter pit fruit character. Lovely and understated in style.
