Lucien Le Moine Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru 2019 750ml

This is quite cool and restrained with its airy red currant, spice and lovely floral nuances. The super-sleek, refined and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors exude an almost pungent minerality on the compact, beautifully long and impressively long finale. This classy effort also needs more depth but it has everything that it needs to develop more in time.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
