2020 Rossignol-Trapet Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru

V(95-97) – “The 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a very well-defined bouquet with vivacious red berry fruit, crushed stone, orange zest and rose petals – almost like a Domaine Claude Dugat. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, vivacious and refined, taut and fresh with a lingering, saline finish. This is a sophisticated Chapelle-Chambertin that lingers long in the mouth. Superb. (Drink between 2025-2050)”

D96 – “The nose is a bit closed and the texture on the palate is very structured. With a bit of time, however, the sensual nature of the wine develops and the complex, earth-scented black plum fruit comes to the fore. The domaine has a total of a half-hectare in Chapelle, three-quarters of it in Grande Chapelle (aka En la Chapelle) and one-quarter in Les Gémeaux. The vines are among the earliest to ripen and there is very little soil over the limestone, yet the grapes did not suffer from heat stress. (Drink between 2025-2050)”
