(95-98 points) Medium full purple, this has a lively full raspberry note without exaggeration. There is a just a little bit of white pepper here too, like the Lavaux, but it doesn’t come from whole bunch. This follows through very well on the palate, with great length and perfect balance, and just a touch more fruit volume than the Echezeaux.

Silky, exuding exotic spices around a core of ripe cherry, pomegranate, raspberry and rose aromas and flavors. Offers a complex and youthful profile that delivers balance and harmony, yet this will require several years to fully express its potential. The aftertaste is seemingly endless and remarkably spicy. Best from 2027 through 2048. — B.S.

(WA 94-96 points) Continuing this site's hot streak, the 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with notions of wild berries, peonies, exotic spices, sweet soil tones, espresso roast and bergamot. Full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with lively acids and a layered, vibrant core of fruit, concluding with a chalky finish. - William Kelley

(VN 94-96 points) The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is one of the best Faiveley wines on the nose: very good definition and mineralité here, poised and focused, not short-changing anyone in terms of power. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity and grip with a dense and quite weighty finish, yet it manages to maintain finesse. Uncompromising...in a good way. -- Neal Martin

Ripe curranty fruit, with notes of earth, wild herbs and liquorice. The texture initially seems silky and approachable, but with time the underlying tannins and extract make themselves felt. From the 1.25ha Faiveley holds in Latricières. The team relates that the heat of the summer blocked the maturation in August due to water stress. Rains at the end of the month, however, helped the fruit finish ripening. The final result was partially destemmed prior to fermentation and ageing in 50% new casks.
