Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2017 Touraine mineral-led finishThe 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru has an open, expressive, beautifully defined bouquet of brambly red fruit, rose petal and subtle sous bois scents; a star anise menthol scent emerges with time. The palate is medium bodied with chewy tannins, dense and sappy. The finish does not convey the terroir as well as others in this flight, though it meliorates in the glass and develops more intellect with aeration. 95 Pts Vinous
