Jean Marie Fourrier - Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2017

DECANTER: "The cooler slope of Latricières, close to the forest and receiving 20 minutes less sunshine a day than Charmes-Chambertin, has produced one of Jean-Marie Fourrier's most exciting releases in 2017. Fresh, nuanced and detailed, this is a hauntingly complex wine from a 53-year-old parcel."

BURGHOUND: "An airy, cool and elegant nose reflects aromas of red cherry, plum, earth and a whisper of the sauvage. There is terrific intensity to the beautifully delineated mineral-driven flavors that possess a refined mouthfeel before culminating in a saline, highly persistent and linear finish that is borderline strict today. This will clearly benefit from at least a few years of cellaring to better flesh out and ultimately, it should be excellent."
