Domaine Trapet Pere & Fils, Chambertin Grand Cru 2007

"Good deep, bright red with ruby tones. Redcurrant, cherry, tobacco and earth on the sexy nose. Juicy, suave and laid-back; in a distinctly polite style for a young Chambertin but there's superb depth here; velvety in texture yet almost weightless. Best today on the very long, slowly mounting finish, which delivers mineral energy and captivating lingering sweetness. This, too, is extremely refined Burgundy." - Vinous

"The nose is overtly floral, cool, reserved with its very restrained but highly complex aromas that display impressively fine gradations of mature pinot fruit and warm earth. There is fine richness and verve to the relatively full-bodied and powerful flavors that are tautly muscular before culminating in lingering and still mildly austere finish. For my taste this is just now knocking on the door of full maturity though it should be capable of holding at this level for at least another decade. A Chambertin of refinement and understatement." - Allen Meadows
