Domaine Jean Louis Trapet - Chambertin Grand Cru - Magnum - Rouge - 2019

Wine:

With a majority of whole grapes, the 2019 Red Chambertin Grand Cru promises a slow evolution, which bodes well for this sunny vintage. This is a wine for the patient, although the greediness of frank fruit, spices, and cocoa already charms in a concentrate of sap and fine, full-bodied flesh. Here, Chambertin pushes the envelope, combining the dazzling purity of Chapelle with the radiant energy of latricières. Harmonious and unmistakably earthy, this wine gets to the heart of the matter and captivates with its spellbinding expression of singularity. The most powerful and profound of Gevrey's crus remains at the top of its game, asserting its great perfume and exceptional palate volume with ease and nobility! Rated 100/100 RVF, 96-98/100 Parker, 98/100 Bettane+Desseauve.
