The 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin from the Trapet family is a stunning young wine. The nose wafts from the glass in a still quite primary blend of black cherries, plums, sweet dark berries, cigar wrapper, a gorgeously complex base of soil tones, pigeon, a touch of mustard seed and a deft foundation of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and potentially quite velvety, with a rock solid core of pure fruit, great mineral drive and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a long, perfectly poised finish that closes today with a nice touch of sweet stem tones from the whole clusters.96+

The 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru offers very pure red berries, undergrowth and rose petal scents on the nose, fresh and ethereal in style. This is very...persuasive. The palate is beautifully-defined, the 80% whole bunch impacting freshness and salinity, filigree tannins with an abundance of tension on the finish. Class from start to finish. (NM)

Jean-Louis Trapet has referred to this parcel as the 'Musigny of Gevrey' and it is easy to see why, with its lush mulberry and cassis fruit, scented with violets, rose petals, liquorice, ginger and smoke. The texture is silky and lush - not a hard edge anywhere - yet there is impressive density and silky tannin as well. A wonderful wine. This 0.6ha Trapet parcel of Chappelle is located in the section known as Grande Chapelle (En la Chapelle). The oldest vines here were planted in 1945 and have long been worked biodynamically. (CC)

Deep and complete, the 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, spices, loamy soil, peonies and plums. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's seamless and concentrated, with ripe, powdery tannins and lively balancing acids. It's another magical rendition of this cuvée from Trapet. (WK)

Notes

92-96 points Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy: "The first sample showed a very heavy reduction, the second was a little more accessible: very dark and deep in colour, only a minor reduction, and this time much more depth of fruit. Inky depths, not quite the majesty of the Latricières but it does build well to the back. Some blackcurrant notes and a long finish. Perhaps a bit monolithic despite 90% whole bunch vinification. Tasted: November 2021."
