Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Heritiers Latour was the least advanced of Latour's reds, unwinding in the glass with a reserved bouquet of cherries, cassis, grilled meats, spices and wood smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, with nice concentration and depth at the core, juicy acids and fine but abundant structuring tannins.
Reviewed by: James Suckling
The blackberry, black-truffle and wet-earth aromas are impressive for the vintage. Medium-to full-bodied, tight and focused with lovely tannin tension and freshness. Pretty acidity at the end. Tasted just before bottling. Drink after 2022.
