Take the trouble to investigate the depths of this very impressive 2021 Grand Cru Burgundy, the aroma spectrum of which stretched from redcurrant to violet, from wet earth and savory to wild blackberry. Impressive power...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2022

(92-94 points) Fairly dense crimson in colour. There is a solid weight of fruit on the nose, dark raspberry with some strawberry too. Some depth to this. A mix of mineral and floral for Jérôme while I find something...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2023

(WA 93-94 points) Wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries and plums mingled with vine smoke, spices and rose petals, the 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, with...

Wine Spectator, August 2023

Taut and sinewy, with cherry, raspberry, menthol and oak spice aromas and flavors under the grip of dense, dusty tannins. The fruit and supple texture still need to emerge and balance the tannins. Best from 2026 through...

Decanter, November 2022

Fairly dark in colour, the 2021 Latricières has rich, ripe blackberry fruit with accents of mineral, leather, and earth and an undercurrent of dark chocolate. The texture is firm and tannic, with balanced acidity and good...

The 2021 Faiveley Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is a notable Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France.

This wine is produced by Domaine Faiveley, a renowned name in the wine industry.

The wine has garnered favorable reviews across the board, with James Suckling offering the highest praise at 96 points. Suckling describes it as a "very impressive 2021 Grand Cru Burgundy" with an "aroma spectrum of redcurrant to violet, from wet earth and savory to wild blackberry." He notes its "impressive power" and a "bright and beautifully crafted" finish, recommending it for drinking now or holding for future enjoyment.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate also gave high marks, scoring it between 93-94 points. William Kelley notes the wine's "aromas of red berries and plums mingled with vine smoke, spices, and rose petals," and highlights its "medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless" profile. Kelley emphasizes the wine's "melting tannins, vibrant acids," and a "giving, perfumed profile that privileges sensuality over power."

Vinous, through Neal Martin, provides a score of 91-93 points, describing the wine as having a "tertiary, classically-styled 'old school' bouquet of dark berry fruit, touches of Earl Grey and forest floor." Martin mentions that the wine is "medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins" and a "peppery finish," adding that it has "lots of character and charm."

Decanter and Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy both rated the wine at 94 points. Decanter calls out its "rich, ripe blackberry fruit with accents of mineral, leather, and earth and an undercurrent of dark chocolate." They note its "firm and tannic" texture with "balanced acidity and good length." Jasper Morris describes it as "fairly dense crimson in color" with a "solid weight of fruit on the nose, dark raspberry with some strawberry too." He finds the wine to have "firm tannins at the finish but plenty of fruit to surround them."

Wine Spectator also awarded it 94 points, describing it as "taut and sinewy, with cherry, raspberry, menthol and oak spice aromas and flavors." They highlight the "dense, dusty tannins" and suggest it will be best enjoyed from 2026 through 2040.
