Domaine Launay Horiot, Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru 2020

The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a perfumed, floral bouquet with red cherries, bergamot, Earl Grey and light crushed stone scents. Fine delineation, though there is a very slight tinniness coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with stocky tannins that exert grip. It's well-balanced with crisp red fruit, cranberry and wild strawberry. There is plenty of spice and cracked black pepper on the finish. Very persistent. This is superb. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
