Duroche, Latricieres Chambertin

Duroche, Latricieres Chambertin(from a . 28 ha parcel). Here the wood treatment stops just short of fighting with the otherwise very fresh, ripe and restrained aromas of primarily red and dark currant aromas that are liberally laced with sauvage, wet stone and newly turned earth scents.

yet fresh and very long

incense and smoky minerals pick up a spicy nuance as the wine opens up

various citrus and oyster shell wisps
