The Story

Chambertin is one of France’s most legendary vineyards—a favorite of Napoleon and the site in Gevrey-Chambertin. In the late 1800s, the Latour family acquired a strip of vines—just 0.81 hectares, or two acres—that extend from the bottom to the top of the hillside Grand Cru. Passed down from generation to generation for nearly a century and a half now, the family saw fit to name the wine they make from these vines “Cuvée Hérétiers”—roughly translated, “the heirs' blend.” A monumental bottle, this 2019 prompted James Suckling to declare: “This is what makes Burgundy so special.”

Wine Access Tasting Note

Medium ruby color. Aromas of ripe blackberries and dark cherries dominate, supported by layers of black currant and hints of plum. The nose also reveals nuanced notes of earthy truffle, dried forest floor, and a subtle undercurrent of freshly ground black pepper. The oak influence is present but well-integrated, providing notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and a touch of toasted almond. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and opulent, with a beautifully balanced structure. The initial attack is rich with flavors of dark fruit, including black raspberry and cassis, which are complemented by a delicate minerality reminiscent of wet stone. There’s a sophisticated interplay of flavors, with undertones of cocoa, coffee, and a hint of licorice. The tannins are finely-grained and well-integrated, contributing to the wine’s velvety texture and ensuring a smooth, elegant mouthfeel. It’s a sophisticated, age-worthy Grand Cru that showcases the depth and finesse of Chambertin. Drink now–2039.

There are Grand Crus…Then There’s This

In Burgundy, there is a rigid hierarchy of vines, from village all the way up to Grand Cru. But beyond these designations, there exist finer distinctions that you don’t necessarily see on the label. And Louis Latour’s Cuvée Heritiers Chambertin Grand Cru is a bottle whose label hints at—but doesn’t completely reveal—exactly how special the wine really is.

If the prestigious village of Gevrey-Chambertin has a heart, it’s the Grand Cru of Chambertin, which is widely known as one of the most sacred places on Earth for Pinot Noir. In the late 1800s, the Latour family acquired a strip of vines—just 0.81 hectares, or two acres—that extend from the bottom to the top of the hillside Grand Cru.

Passed down from generation to generation for nearly a century and a half now, the family saw fit to name the wine they make from these vines “Cuvée Hérétiers”—roughly translated, “the heirs' blend.” It’s their only bottling from the hallowed Chambertin Grand Cru. Grown in the spectacular 2019 vintage, aged for a year in 100% new French oak, this bottle inspired a rapturous 99-point review from James Suckling. His words: “This is what makes Burgundy so special.”

This is a great wine—an homage to a special parcel in a hallowed vineyard from one of the most beloved families in the region. Now five years after harvest, it’s drinking beautifully, but will certainly thrive in the cellar for a decade plus.
