The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru suffered in the hail that struck the north of Morey-Saint-Denis and south of Gevrey-Chambertin this year, resulting in a mere half crop, but the wine is promising, unfurling in the glass with notes of cassis, plum, dried flowers and mossy soil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated and chewy, with a tense, tight-knit core that contrasts with most of Lachaux's other 2017s, and it will demand correspondingly longer in bottle to reach its peak.
