Tasting notes
The 2020 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose, opening gradually in the glass. It offers more red fruit than its peers. Rosehip and touches of tobacco emerge with time. Nicely focused, but this takes time to cohere. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit, muscular compared to its peers, and concentrated but without quite the same level of complexity and nuance on the finish as it showed in the barrel. That will develop with time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

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.
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.
