The 2022 Domaine Trapet Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru is an elegant red 布根地 (Burgundy) wine that impressively embodies the finesse and depth of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir. The 2022 vintage is described as elegant, seamless, and refined, with terrific depth, tangy acids, and a long, rose-inflected finish. It offers more complexity and nuance on the nose compared to Latricières, with crushed limestone and white flowers filtering through layers of red fruit. The palate presents a powerful entry, sorbet-fresh with hints of orange zest and tangerine interwoven with black fruit, leading to a grippy and spicy finish. In the glass, it reveals a luminous ruby red colour. The nose opens with ripe red and black fruit, including morello cherry, wild strawberry, and blackcurrant jam, complemented by floral accents of peony, violet, and rose, alongside menthol nuances. Hints of cocoa, leather, and fine spices add an elegant patina. On the palate, there's a velvety texture and a racy, full-bodied character, with ripe fruit stretching over a framework of fine tannins. Spicy accents of licorice and sweet pepper prolong the mineral tension and undergrowth notes, leading to a bewitching finish. This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with roasted game, duck confit, or beef tenderloin, and will complement dishes featuring truffles or rich mushroom sauces. Other excellent pairings include roasted pigeon or quail, Coq au Vin, and aged Époisses or Comté cheese. While approachable now for its aromatic brilliance and polished structure, this Chapelle-Chambertin has the depth and complexity to age gracefully over the next 15-20 years, revealing further layers of nuance and sophistication. It will require several years in bottle to fully develop its harmony, making it a treasure for collectors and connoisseurs. 【 Domaine Trapet is a benchmark estate in the Côte de Nuits, celebrated for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. 】
