Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2014

The 2014 Chambertin from Domaine Trapet was the youngest wine in the cellar and was still a bit adolescent in profile, as it was in the midst of absorbing its new wood and slower in its evolution in cask than the other two grand crus. However, it is also very easy to see that this is going to be a brilliant wine, as it offers up scents of red plums, red and black cherries, grilled meat, kaleidoscopic black minerality, woodsmoke and cedary wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and rock solid at the core, with stunning purity, fine-grained tannins and excellent grip and focus on the very, very long finish. A great, great example of Chambertin in the making.
