2020 Albert Bichot, Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru 1x750ml

Burghound 91-93

Pungent aromas are comprised of firm reduction and wood toast. The sleek, vibrant and intense bigger-bodied flavors brim with minerality on the rich, sappy and palate soaking finale that flashes excellent length. This too is a bit edgy though in this case it seems more likely that it will more fully harmonize with age. [Allenn Meadows, 01/10/2022]

Vinous 93

The 2020 Latricieres-Chambertin Grand Cru, which does not come from the estate but is harvested by their team, has a very sorbet, menthol-fresh bouquet that has a hard time following the excellent Grands-Echezeaux. The palate is sweet on the entry with candied black cherry and boysenberry fruit, lightly spiced with good weight on the finish. This actually meliorates as it goes along and if the aromatics can gain more complexity in bottle, this should end up being a fine Latricieres. [Neal Martin, 12/16/2021]
