The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is especially striking this year. Offering up aromas of wild berries, peonies, exotic spices, coniferous forest floor, orange rind and violets, it's full-bodied, vibrant and multidimensional, with a concentrated core of fruit and an incisive, penetrating profile. Elegant and precise, it's one of the most refined wines in the cellar.

The 2018 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with notes of sweet berries, exotic spices, peonies, rose petals and bergamot. Full-bodied, seamless and complete, it's deep and concentrated, with a cool core of fruit; rich, powdery tannins; lively acids; and a long, penetrating finish. As ever, its finesse and tension distinguish it from the broader-shouldered, more muscular Clos de la Roche.

The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is showing especially well this year, opening up in the glass with aromas of wild berries, coniferous forest floor, cassis and dark chocolate, framed by a deft application of classy new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and incisive, with an intense core of fruit, beautifully refined structuring tannins and a long, mineral finish. Finer-boned and more reserved than the Clos de la Roche, this will be worth a special effort to seek out.

The 2016 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is brilliant, and one of the high points both of the portfolio and this great C?te de Nuits vintage. The wine unfurls in the glass with a captivating but youthfully reserved bouquet of rose petals, violets, blood orange, cherries and cassis, with only hints of the savory forest floor and spice to come with bottle age. On the palate, it's full-bodied, bottomlessly deep and immensely concentrated, with an animating line of acidity that is classic Latricières, framed by exceptionally fine, powdery tannins, its finish long and unerringly precise.

The 2015 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Leroy is spectacular, wafting from the glass with notes of rose petal, black cherry, cassis, rich spices and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is silky, elegant and multidimensional—a world away from the assertive structure of its near-neighbor Clos de la Roche—with silky tannins, superb concentration and a vibrant, saline finish. For all its intensity of flavor, this Latricières is a delicate, transparent wine that fully realizes this grand cru's potential.
