Opened Lucien LeMoine 2011 Latricieres at same time as Gambal 2011 Latricieres. Both are Négociants in Beaune.
Gambal wine is medium red with obvious brick cast. Nose is influenced by toasty oak, showing brown spice and sour cherry. With time it had good flesh and firm tannin. Medium body, silky and a very long finish.
LeMoine is a more pure, medium red. Here the oak in the nose is closer to vanilla, the fruit is dark red and a floral element. More flesh here makes it instantly yummier, fruit is fresh berries, there is vanilla too, but the finish is not so long. This is the crowd favorite tonight.

Medium red. Reduction disappears with some swirling to reveal red berry fruit and oak and soil tones. The palate is red berry fruit, perfume and some oak. It has good concentration and detail comes forth with time in the glass. Very easy to like today due to harmonious acid, soft tannin and yummy fruit.

Couldn't resist. This is a super GC GC. Nose offers up some reduction but also lovely small red fruits, spice, leather, coffee and new oak. Oodles of rich ripe fruit with mouth tingling minerality and soft silky tannins. Long long persistent finish. Very impressive .

Has all the ingredients to be a great wine. Big fruit, nice tannins and lovely minerality but not yet integrated. Needs 4/5 years. VG.
