{"title":"Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru","description":"\u003cp\u003eLatricières-Chambertin continues \u003cstrong\u003eChambertin\u003c\/strong\u003e southward, at the foot of the slope of Gevrey-Chambertin, on a slight shelf: a single lieu-dit, Latricières. Farther down lies Mazoyères, the southern part of Charmes-Chambertin; to the south, beyond the Premier Cru Aux Combottes, Morey-Saint-Denis begins. Recognized by the decree of July 31, 1937, it covers just over 7 hectares of Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets it apart is its position at the mouth of the Combe Grisard, a small, dry, wooded valley: the cold forest air that flows down from it makes the mesoclimate cooler, and the debris from the combe, mixed with clays and red silts, forms a lean, stony soil over the Bajocian limestones and marls. First mentioned in the sixteenth century, the lieu-dit made its reputation in the eighteenth; in 1855 Jules Lavalle classified it as second cuvée, and in 1931 the Dijon court set its boundaries, adding the name Chambertin to its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the appellation rules, these conditions can be read in the wine: compared with the neighboring Grands Crus it has \u003cstrong\u003eless fat and sometimes more austerity\u003c\/strong\u003e in youth, with dense tannins and an acidity that gives it backbone; the fruity, floral bouquet turns with the years toward mineral and forest-floor notes, and a few years in bottle reveal its finesse and length. When available, the bottles appear further down.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/latricieres-chambertin-grand-cru.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
