Domaine Trapet Pere & Fils, Latricieres Chambertin Grand cru 2011

"An exceptionally cool and highly restrained nose features notes of red pinot fruit, stone, earth, sauvage notes and a hint of rose petal. There is first-rate intensity to the beautifully well-detailed pungently mineral-driven medium weight plus flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration before culminating in a refined, very firm and strikingly persistent finish that is a bit less overtly austere than usual. In a word, terrific." - Allen Meadows

"The 2011 Latricières-Chambertin comes across as a bit wild in this vintage. Dried flowers, red cherries, smoke and tobacco take shape in the glass. The 2011 remains a bit linear at this stage, with terrific energy but less obvious fruit than the other Grand Crus." - Antonio Galloni
