The 2020 Lucien Le Moine Latricieres Chambertin is a distinguished Pinot Noir hailing from the esteemed Burgundy region of France, specifically the Gevrey Chambertin appellation within the Cote de Nuits sub-region. This wine is crafted by the renowned producer Lucien le Moine. Known for its rich and intricate flavors, this wine offers an alcohol content of 14.0% and is sealed with a traditional cork closure.

Burghound, a respected publication in the wine world, awarded this wine a score of 95, noting its exceptional quality. In their review dated April 10, 2022, they describe the wine as having "a highly restrained and ultra-pure nose" with aromas of both red and dark currants, forest floor, and a subtle hint of sauvage. The tasting note emphasizes the wine's "unusually rich" mouthfeel, a characteristic not often found in young Latricières. This richness is complemented by ample minerality, which adds a "sense of lift" to the wine’s profile.

The wine's finish is described as "impressively persistent, markedly firm, austere and well-balanced," suggesting that it will benefit from some aging to reach its full potential. Burghound remarks that while the wine "will need to add depth to merit the top end" of their projected score range, it possesses the necessary "stuffing" to achieve this with time.

Overall, the 2020 Lucien Le Moine Latricieres Chambertin appears to be a promising and sophisticated wine choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted Pinot Noir, with the potential to develop further complexity as it matures.
