Trapet Pere & Fils Chapelle-Chambertin GC 2017

With a bit of coaxing, the wine offers up scents of red and black cherries, gamebird, woodsmoke, mustard seed, raw cocoa, a great base of soil, hints of Cuban tobacco, cedar and a topnote of nutskin.

On the palate the wine is pure, full and rock solid at the core, with a tightly-knit, ripely-tannic and very precise and promising finish. The length here is outstanding and the wine is both sappy and very soil-driven. There is little doubt it will be flat out great when it is ready to drink.
