2018 Le Chambertin, Grand Cru, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet (1 x Magnum)
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru clearly has the most complexity and amplitude on the nose, featuring blackberry, briar, raspberry and crushed stone aromas; this feels complete and very harmonious. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a fine bead of acidity, superb structure and wonderful salinity and cohesion on the persistent finish. Très Chambertin et très bon.

The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru comes from two parcels. The wonderful, extremely well-defined bouquet immediately expresses the aristocratic nature of this vineyard, offering red berry fruit, orange pith, crushed stone and wilted rose petal, and becoming more and more intense with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and very impressive balance. There is a judicious spiciness to this grand cru. Structured on the finish, with a long, persistent aftertaste. Superb breeding here. Recommended, especially given the price of other Chambertins.

The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru is initially understated on the nose, unfolding with brambly red fruit, undergrowth and just a light touch of morels. Very succinct with a kind of broody intensity – but maybe a touch of Brettanomyces? The palate is well balanced with a note of sour cherry and wild strawberry on the entry. Fine precision, moderate depth, though it is not the most profound Chambertin this year. Lovely edginess on the elegant finish, give this 4-5 years in bottle. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
