Description
  • At the heart of a constellation of Grand Crus from Côte de Nuits is Chambertin. The terroir of Chambertin is legendary for its exceptional richness due to a geological phenomenon called an alluvial fan. This deeply complex terroir is characterized by brown calcareous soils. It breeds a powerful and complex wine with a long ageing potential, combining the robustness of Pinot Noir and the taste of the "terroir".
    At the end of the 19th century the Latour family acquired 0.81 hectares in the Chambertin Grand Cru appellation, forming a beautiful parcel extending from the top to the bottom of the hillside, closer to that of Latricières rather than Clos de Bèze. We took the name of Chambertin "Cuvée Héritiers Latour", as the parcel has been passed down through the generations of Latour family descendants.

Press review
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2022 - Bill Nanson Burgundy Report - December2023More a core of aroma here, faintly menthol. In the mouth that's fabulous - fruity complexity, obvious but very open structure with accessible flavour. The finish is panoramic with lovely, lovely complex fruit - and so long. Proper, super-long Chambertin. Simply excellent wine.
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2021 - James Suckling - July 2023 - 97/100

      Deep, dark and rich with wonderful rooty complexity on the nose, which expands with each swirl of the glass. Suddenly violets, then sour cherries. Stunning concentration for 2021 on the expansive palate, that's beautifully supported by the velvety tannins. Very long, graceful finish with notes of licorice and spice. Drink or hold.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2021 - Burghound.com - 92/100 - April 2023A fresh and cool nose of attractively layered red berries and forest floor is trimmed in much more subtle oak. There is again a lovely texture to the solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the moderately austere and compact finale, where a touch of warmth slowly emerges.
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2021 - Wine Spectator Insider - August 2023 - 95/100

      A broad-shouldered version, not overly powerful, yet with an athletic structure setting the stage for black cherry, blackberry, earth and oak spice flavors. Tightens up on thefinish, suggesting this is holding back for the moment. Best from 2026 through 2043. B.S.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2021 - Bill Nanson Burgundy Report - January 2023

      Starting timid, this nose opens up with panache in the glass - complex - never powerful - but with a fine invitation from complex, slightly cushioned fruit. Mouth-filling but silky - really some elegance. Supple, with a mm or two of cushion and absolutely delicious flavours. Silken wine.

      If every Chambertin was like this, we could give up our job. So much spice, earthy and meaty character, but in the end it's the amarena-cherry fruit that wins out. Enormous concentration and finesse. Staggering purity of flavor. Then comes the spectacularly uplifting finish that just doesn't want to stop. Drink or hold.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2020 - Burghound.com - 92/100 pts

      There is again excellent volume to the mouth coating and powerful larger-scaled flavors that exude both hints of minerality and bitter pit fruit on the lingering, focused and balanced finale. This firmly structured effort will need to add depth over time, but the underlying material appears up to the task.

      This is what makes Burgundy so special - it's so easy to enjoy, with amazing black-cherry fruit, yet it's so deep and complex. Wonderful richness, below which lies a major tannin structure, then the minerality and lively acidity kick in and push this out in the direction of infinity. Makes you glad to be alive!

    • Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Héritiers Latour 2019 - Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide - 97/100 pts

      This wine's profoundly ripe black-plum and cassis flavors and svelte, spirited demeanor make it a fantastic expression of the appellation. Despite a maturation of 10 to 12 months in 100% oak, it's pristine in fruit, finishing on lingering notes of crushed white pepper and a salty, mineral crush. At peak from 2025 through 2040, the wine will hold longer.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2019 - The Wine Advocate - 92-95 pts

      "The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Heritiers Latour is very promising, mingling notes of berries and rose petals with hints of rich soil tones, warm spices and licorice. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's beautifully balanced and complete, with ripe tannins and a long, precise finish."

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018 - 97/100 - Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

      A hint of forest fruit appears one minute; the next this wine's shy nose shuts down again. The palate comes in with concentrated, svelte insistence. Within the frame of
      the fine tannins there is a certain plushness of fruit, while the firm, graceful structure keeps all within its soaring bounds, channeling energy, aroma and fruit forward into the future. What an experience.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018, 97/100, James Suckling

      Captivating blue fruit on the nose, as well as lavender and rose petals. Some hazelnuts and tea, too. Full-bodied with very tight, chewy tannins that are wonderfully polished and energetic. Extremely long and tight right now. Superb structure. Try after 2024, to allow it to show more of its potential.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018- 95 pts - Wine Spectator May 2021

      Black cherry, blackberry, licorice, spice and earth aromas and flavors highlight this broad, meaty red. Muscular tannins and bright acidity lend support as this builds to an expansive finish. A bit more gruff around the edges, yet intense and long. Best from 2025 through 2045. — BS

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018 - Burghound.com, Allen Meadows - Spring 2020 - 93/100

      This is very ripe, indeed to the point that there are notes of jammy and earthy dark berry fruit aromas that exhibit a plethora of pretty spice elements. There is fine volume and mid-palate concentration to the overtly mineral-inflected and muscular flavors that are at once supple yet firm on the youthfully austere finish that exhibits focused power. This too should age well for years to come. 2033+

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018 - World of Fine Wine - March 2020 - 94/100

      Deep ruby. Admirable aromatic clarity and restraint: dark fruit, but no overripeness and no negative sign of its relatively short spell in 100% new oak (the wine already having been racked into stainless steel). Very gentle and graceful on entry, with some of the minerality and profundity proper to the cru, but this impresses more for its balance, poise, and perfect proportions than for its sheer scale. A light dryness on the finish, but this should integrate, and the wine stays sufficiently succulent thanks to the finely-wrought tannins. (Neil Beckett, cask sample)

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018 - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (USA) - February 2020 - 94/100

      The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Heritiers Latour was one of the more backward wines in the cellar and needs further élevage, but it's certainly promising, exhibiting aromas of cherries, wild berries, rich forest floor and dried flowers. Full-bodied, rich and powerful, it's long, broad and muscular, with ample reserves of youthfully chewy tannin that will round out with further time in barrel.


    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018 - Bill Nanson - January 2020 - "A high level!"

      Rather dark coloured. The nose is deep, not so wide, ripe-fruited, another that suggests a little alcohol. Suave, there's tannin but as part of a velvet texture, no astringency. This feels super in the mouth, lingering, mouth-watering - not showing everything today the parts visible are on a high level!

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2018 - Jancis Robinson - January 2020 - 17/20

      Cask sample. Deep cherry red. Much more fruity on the nose than the Corton Grancey. Replete with dark-red fruit, much riper than any of the Louis Latour reds tasted so far. However, the texture is still finely dry and the finish is dry and savoury. (JH, UK)

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2017 - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (USA) - January 2019 - 94/100

      A reserved bouquet of cherries, cassis, grilled meats, spices and wood smoke. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, with nice concentration and depth at the core, juicy acids and fine but abundant structuring tannins.  (cask sample)

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2017 - Burgundy Report, Bill Nanson - January 2019 - "Impressive"

      Lots of freshness at the top, good depth too - but narrow. Full, complex, mobile - lots of volume and energy in tandem. Long, slowly mouth-watering, long again - impressive but clearly a wine for the more patient - in a 2017 context!


    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2016 - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (USA) - January 2019 - 95/100

      The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru Cuvée Heritiers Latour is the most reserved of the Louis Latour reds I tasted from bottle, unfurling reluctantly in the glass to reveal notions of spicy berry fruit, peony, orange rind and savory nuances of forest floor. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a sappy core of fruit, fine but youthfully chewy tannins and a long, sapid finish. An open bottle continued to improve for over a week, making my initial rating seem conservative, so I'm convinced that patience will be rewarded. Drink 2023-2045

      Morello and cranberry take turns on the nose. There is also an overtone of fragrant peony. The concentrated, fluid palate bursts with fruit but is firmly framed with fine tannic structure and a most lively, vivid freshness. - Anne Krebiehl MW

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2016 - James Suckling - February 2018 - 97/100There's a pretty massive tannin structure behind this concentrated and muscular wine, which needs a lot more time.

      After the Cortons this is both a more modest and a more elegant nose - finer complexity of fruit and floral notes here. Fresh, fine volume - more cushioned volume than the Clos du Roi - developing flavour, complex flavour. A very elegant Chambertin but of depth and undoubted complexity. Long, long...

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2015 - Wine Spectator - July 2017 - 95/100

      A compact style, just short of monolithic, displaying black cherry, plum, thyme, granite and chalk aromas and flavors. Complex and balanced, with a sense of refinement and terrific energy. The best is yet to come. Excellent length.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2015 - Burghound.com - April 2017 - 91-94/100

      Even aggressive swirling barely succeeds in liberating the earthy and beautifully complex aromas of dark currant, autumn leaves and a whiff of smoked game. There is excellent punch to the rich, velvety and relatively refined flavors that brim with minerality on the hugely long finish that displays hints of mocha and warmth. This is clearly built-to-age though in this case the richness is such that it could be enjoyed on the younger side. 2030+ Allen Meadows (USA)

      Gorgeous depth and judicious extraction of tannin, I immediately fell in love with this wine. Dark ripe cherry and licorice, with some spice, oak driven notes. The palate is powerful, full bodied, great depth, with evident tannin, but ripe and polished leading to a very long finish. Excellent !

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2014 - Burghound.com - April 2016 - 92/100

      A strikingly fresh if markedly reserved nose displays notes of both red and dark berries together with discreet nuances of spice, game, humus and violets. There is terrific intensity to the sleek, detailed and stony medium weight plus flavors that possess focused power on the impressively long and moderately austere finale. This is not as complex as the Grands Echézeaux or the Romanée St. Vivant but this is still very young and my score offers the benefit of the doubt that more will develop with time in bottle./2026+

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2008 - Wine Spectator Insider - March 2011 - 90/100This is elegant, with a succulent texture and vibrant structure framing straw¬berry, cherry, spice and mineral flavors. Firms up on the finish, but the aftertaste lingers in a subtle way. Best from 2014 through 2025. (USA)
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2008 - Burghound.com - April 2010 - 91/100An extremely cool and backward nose of moderately high-toned and intensely stony red berry fruit and distinctly animale aromas complements well the detailed, precise and equally mineral-driven, firm and big-bodied flavors. There is good if not sensational power here and not quite the length that one might hope for but given how youthful this still is, there will be plenty of time for that to develop. 2023+. By Allen Meadows (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2008 - The World of Fine Wine - Issue 27 - March 2010 - 17.5/20Medium-deep ruby. Closed but all apparently in place; clean earth, dried cherry and strawberry, light spice. More structured than the Mazis; dense but still elegant with fine tannins and a lovely, flowing texture. A little light by comparison with some, but delicious, elegant, refined, and long. - NB. (UK)
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2007 - Wine Spectator Insider - February 3rd, 2010 - 93/100An intense red, powerful and elegant at once, exhibiting black cherry, chocolate, licorice and mineral flavors.

    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Hériters Latour" 2007 - Burghound.com- April 2009- 91/100This is very cool and restrained on the airy, layered and impressively complex nose that offers up notes of smoke, game, red pinot fruit and ample amounts of earth and underbrush, both of which can be found on the minerally flavors that culminate in an understated, persistent and mouth coating finish. This is not a big wine by the typical standards of a classic Chambertin, indeed it's quite fine but certainly attractive in its fashion. 2015+. By Allen Meadows (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2006 - Wine Spectator - May 2009 - 93/100A combination of fresh, ripe cherry, spice and mineral flavors, a silky texture and firm, integrated tannins makes this red appealing and expressive. It's classy and balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of cherry and stone. Best from 2012 through 2025. By Bruce Sanderson (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2006 - Burghound.com - April 2008 - 91-93/100An unusually expressive, cool and airy red berry fruit nose with background notes of a broad cassis character that adds to the impression of ripeness that further extends to the energetic, punchy and obviously mineral-infused flavors that possess fine detail and intensity on the reserved and youthfully austere finish. This is balanced, long and serious. 2014+. By Allen Meadows (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2006 - Jancis Robinson - February 2008 - 17.5/20Sweet, slightly toffeed red fruit aromas then much more savoury, oaky spice on the palate. Fine, dry tannins and fresh long finish. Already surprisingly approachable. Drink 2009-15. (UK)
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2005 - Jancis Robinson - January 2007 - 18/20Hint of ripe cherry fruit. Very sweet and rich with masses of ripe fruit and the tannins and acid well-handled. Fine tannins. Great charaterful fruit. Great texture. (UK)
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée des Héritiers" 2005 - Wine Spectator - January 2008 - 95/100This starts out elegant, then intensifies as it unfolds across the palate. A touch green, with a sweet sawed pine note and a beam of cherry and red currant. There are firm tannins, but the lasting impression is sweet fruit. Best from 2013 through 2028. By Bruce Sanderson (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée des Héritiers" 2005 - Burghound.com - April 2007 - 93 /100 A clear step up in aromatic complexity with a wonderful range of spice nuances, including anise, clove and cinnamon plus ripe dark and gamy fruit aromas where the sense of the sauvage continues onto the rich, full and sweet flavors that possess outstanding volume and power. This is a bruiser of a Chambertin but it's not rustic and I particularly like the mouth coating sappiness on the impressively long finish. By Allen Meadows (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2005 - Wine Advocate - May 2007 - 90/100A 2005 Chambertin displays abundant ripe black cherry fruit, hints of cedar and licorice, deep underlying meatiness, and polished tannins. Soft and incipiently velvety, this should be very flattering (and hopefully more complex) with only a few years further maturation. (USA)
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée des Héritiers" 2004 - Burghound.com - April 2006 - 88-91/100A beautiful complex nose of earth, game, a touch of the sauvage and plenty of very fresh crushed red pinot fruit notes that give way to rich, round and elegant flavors that are sweet, attractive and delicious if not particularly concentrated or powerful. A Chambertin of finesse rather than muscle. By Allen Meadows (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2003 - Burghound.com - April 2005 - 92/100A background trace of wood underscores rich and gorgeously perfumed plumy pinot aromas that lead to elegant, powerfull and dense but velvety flavors that offer good mid-palate punch and a sappy, delicious, impressively complex finish. I very much like the style of this as it's serious, balanced and built for the moderate to long term. 2015+. By Allen Meadows (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2003 - Wine Spectator - April 2006 - 92/100Packed with ripe, slightly raisined cherry, black currant and woodsy notes, but there's also a cloak of tannins surrounding this core of fruit It's impressive more for its intensity than expression of terroir today. best from 2010 through 2020.

In addition, this outstanding effort's sappy fruit and chewy texture are carried through its extended finish. Projected maturity : 2007 - 2015. (USA)
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2002 - Jersey Gallery Magazine - November 2011 - "Excellent balanced style"This classic wine has an impressive garnet hue and a distinctive smoky nose. The vigour and concentration of fully mature Pinot Noir grapes which are grown on this noble soil of the vineyards of Chambertin in the heart of Cotes de Nuits form an alliance giving complexity and longevity to the wine. The oaky flavours are complemented by some hints of liquorice and dark chocolate with well integrated smooth tannins. Whilst already offering some excellent balanced style and elegance the irmness and structure of this Grand Cru means the wine can still be laid down for a further period of ageing. Game and duck dishes are great with Chambertin CuvéeHeritiers Latour but try it with Morbier cheese from Franche-Comté to really get some perfect harmony.
    • Chambertin Grand Cru "Cuvée Héritiers Latour" 2002 - TheFineWineTimes.com - February 11th, 2010 - "Elegant"Aged and fragrant with light but wild aromas of minerals, damp earth, smoke, meat and light vanilla. Light ruby colour with lots of complex minerality allied to medium-concentrated spicy black cherry and earthy flavours. It does have a good deep vein of earthy black fruit concentration. Dry and structured with light but with irony tannins. Good long, elegant and earthy.
    • Chambertin Grand Cru « Cuvée Héritiers Latour » 2002 - Wine Spectator - May 15th, 2005 - 94/100Intense and sinewy, showing the licorice, tobacco and mineral side of Burgundy, with its wild cherry fruit locked up light. A steel-coiled structure backs it all up, with a long, tannin-and-alcohol-driven finish. Very compact and monolithic now. (USA)

    • 1985 Chambertin Grand Cru - Burghound, Allen Meadows - February 2009 - 89 points:A mix of secondary and tertiary aromas that give off a slightly chaptalized note as well as ample sous bois merge into delicious and slightly sweet middle weight flavors that do possess an attractive sense of underlying minerality that imparts a big of lift to the otherwise impressively persistent finish. This is not a big wine and definitely on the soft side compared to the other examples of Chambertin in this tasting. That said, it is delicious and easy to appreciate and has definitely arrived at its peak. 90/now
    • Chambertin Grand Cru 1929 - Burghound.com - November 2007 - 95/100A striking nose that is at once fully mature yet vibrant with superb breadth and depth, offering spice, sous bois, Gevrey style earth and plenty of game nuances that serve as a beautiful introduction to the rich, full, sweet, minerally and still intense flavors that culminate in a palate staining and admirably long finish. In short, a gorgeous example of the '29 vintage that is still going strong and should continue to do so. By Allen Meadows (USA).
    • Chambertin Grand Cru 1903 - Burghound.com - July 2008 - 87/100Heavy bricking yet still with a ruby core. Noticeable volatile acidity adds that just avoids dominating the otherwise earth, spice and sous bois-infused nose that introduces detailed, cool and minerally medium weight flavors that possess lovely depth on the nice persistent if somewhat short finish. For a relatively difficult vintage and 105 years of age, this bottle turned in a more than respectable performance. By Allen Meadows (USA).
