Latricières-Chambertin, Grand Cru vineyard in Côte-d'Or, France.
Latricières-Chambertin is a Grand Cru vineyard covering about 7.5 hectares on a slope with excellent sun exposure and natural soil drainage. The land is divided among twelve different owners, each managing their individual portion of the total area.
In 1855 Jules Lavalle ranked Latricières as a second-cuvée climat of Gevrey-Chambertin. On 2 February 1931 the Dijon court allowed it and six neighbouring climats to append the name Chambertin. The AOC latricières-chambertin was recognised by the decree of 31 July 1937, and the cahier des charges was modified in November 2011.
The name comes from the Latin latericium, meaning flank or slope, referring to the hillside where the vines grow. The gateway at the edge of the parcel carries the inscription "LATRICIERES CHAMBERTIN" above "REMY PROPRIÉTAIRE", marking the entrance to the climat.
The vineyard is situated on a slope with natural drainage, so paths can become slippery during wet weather. The best time to visit and walk through the parcels is during drier months.
