Rossignol-Trapet owns two very fine parcels of this outstanding Grand Cru. The vines were mostly planted in the 1950s, with a small section of young vines planted in 2000, and another small section planted way back in 1919. This is such a handsome Grand Cru, with magnificent structure and length. It builds and builds, and offers buyers long ageing potential. Elegant, detailed and precise.
The 2023 Chambertin Grand Cru, though somewhat predictable, is bridled with the finest aromatics amongst Rossignol-Trapet's range in this vintage: ebullient red fruit, rose petals and hints of clementine. The palate is medium-bodied with silky-smooth tannins—not as concentrated as, say, Rousseau's Chambertin that I had tasted less than an hour earlier, but tensile with just the right amount of spice toward the finish. This is very composed and will drink earlier than its peers.
Not really any deeper in colour, an elegant ruby. Perfumed, stylish, very understated to begin with, then grows beautifully, super elegant, a refined and stylish Chambertin which captures the beauty of this terroir without exaggeration. A little oak to finish. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.
