Vintage Character The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Faiveley exemplifies the classic elegance and precision of this storied Gevrey-Chambertin terroir. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a cool, frost-affected spring and a mild summer, resulting in reduced yields but wines of notable freshness, finesse, and aromatic purity—qualities that have been especially appreciated by Burgundy enthusiasts.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 93-95 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this Grand Cru reveals a captivating bouquet of wild red berries, rose petals, and earthy undertones, with subtle hints of spice and crushed stone. On the palate, it displays a refined structure, silky tannins, and vibrant minerality that reflect the vineyard’s thin, stony soils and cool microclimate. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of black cherry and a touch of savory herbs. This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast duck with cherries or a classic French coq au vin, each complementing its depth and aromatic complexity.
