94 / 100"This is aromatically more complex if not more elegant than the Chapelle with its array of spiced plum, exotic tea, dark currant and subtle sauvage scents. The restrained and beautifully delineated flavors also seem to be constructed on a base of liquid minerality that adds lift to the very firm, intense, linear and moderately austere finish that delivers outstanding persistence. This too will need at least 12 to 15 years to arrive at its full potential."

"The 2013 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru offers pure red cherry and strawberry scents on the nose, interlaced with vanilla and dried flowers, a touch more complex than the Chapelle-Chambertin at this stage. The palate is quite energetic in the mouth with candied red fruit, minerals and citrus peel. Animated and long, this is a fine Latricières and one of the best offering from the domaine this year."
