Albert Bichot Latricieres-Chambertin 1999

A Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Chambertin's doorstep, with a quarter century already in bottle. That's real age, and a rare chance to taste what decades in the cellar do to a Grand Cru. Latricières sits on the edge of Morey-Saint-Denis, squeezed between the Monts Luisants and Chambertin itself, and the name doesn't flatter: "Tricière" means poor soil. The description is fair. The vines grow in poor calcareous clay over marl and Bajocian limestone full of crinoid fossils. A dusting of silica has washed down from the Grissard coomb. Bichot's view is that the hard going pays off, and that the site gives wild-fruit notes and a subtle, layered spice rather than brute force. If you want aged Grand Cru Burgundy without paying for the Chambertin name on the label, this is a smart way in. Stand the bottle up ahead of time.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Beef tenderloin with a red wine reduction; roast duck breast with cherries; braised venison or roast pheasant; lamb rack with thyme; mature Comté or a ripe Époisses.

Tasting Profile

Expect the Latricières style: wild red and dark fruit with subtle, layered spice rather than sheer power. With long bottle age, Grand Cru Pinot Noir like this typically moves toward dried cherry, forest floor, leather and earthy truffle notes, with silky, softened tannins, lively acidity and a long, savoury finish. Think a finer, less muscular Chambertin.
