Latricieres Chambertin Grand Cru Trapet Peres et Fils Cote de Nuits, Burgundy 2014
An iconic Pinot Noir wines from the Gevrey-chambertin commune. Located alongside the Route des Grands Crus at the northern end of the Côte which runs from North to South between the Combes of Lavaux at one end and Morey-Saint-Denis at the other. It can be likened to a Cinemascope screen, facing east, at altitudes between 240 and 280 meters. The vineyard first appears in the history of the Côte de Nuits in the year 640 AD as a monastic property and was part of the Clos de Beze village . In 1219 it passed to the canons of Langres, who retained ownership until the French Revolution (1789). The name Chambertin has been used since the 13th century and once shared imperial approval with Clos de Bèze - Napoleon would drink nothing else. Its boundaries have not changed since the Middle Ages. In recognition of their similarity, the 7 Climats adjoining those of Chambertin and Clos de Bèze attach the name Chambertin to their own names (except in the case of Clos de Bèze where the name Chambertin comes first).
Grand Cru status was officially granted on 31 July 1937
