Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru is deeper in color than its peers. There is a slight reduction here but underneath lies some very fine raspberry and black plum fruit, though it needs to demonstrate more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin and then it seems to run out of ideas towards the finish and finishes a little uninspired. Hmm ... this is a Chambertin outclassed by some of Rossignol-Trapet's less revered crus at the moment. Though it remains a very fine 2013, it falls short of how I expected it to perform given its splendid showing in barrel. Tasted September 2016.Inc. GSTSG$427.91 -

The 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very traditional, well-defined and somehow noble bouquet evidencing some stem addition that is complementary to the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This does not have the spellbinding precision of Rousseau's Chambertin tasted alongside, but depth, grit, spiciness and impressive structure render the finish utterly compelling. Cellar this for at least another decade; it will surely be worth the wait. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.Inc. GSTSG$3,124.46 -

There is just a medium depth of purple to the colour, but what a glorious nose! This really has it all without undue power. There is a correct veneer of new oak, and all the nuance that you could possibly want. The faintest flicker of a reductive note emerges, but the fruit is so exquisite that assuming the issue is just a temporary touch of reduction, we can look forward to something magical later on. The aftertaste is really lovely. Drink from 2032.Inc. GSTSG$2,061.71 -

The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru offers plenty of fruit concentration on the nose—raspberry, wild strawberry and cranberry—and a touch of Earl Grey and crushed stone. This is complex and so engaging. The palate is medium-bodied, with finely-chiseled tannins and extremely pure red fruit. Citrus-fresh, with a hint of blood orange and yuzu, and almost symmetrical finish that lingers long in the mouth, this is outstanding. Easily one of the best wines that I have tasted from Rossignol-Trapet. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. GSTSG$2,628.51 -

Mid crimson. Nothing in the colour tells you it is a great wine. The nose – ah now it is getting more interesting a mixture of the extra depth and the suggestion of complexity to be discovered. Little red fruits, with precision, some floral notes too. While in the mouth the smiles come readily to my face. The 2021 Chambertin is not the equal of the truly astonishing 2020 but they have made a very good job in a supple, subtle style, with the dainty little red fruits which continue. An assemblage des nuances. Drink from 2029-2038.Inc. GSTSG$992.66 -

The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru is much more backward and introspective than Mortet's La Perrière. Yet, it is well defined and terroir-driven, crushed stones percolate through the red fruit. Understated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine grip, perhaps a little more extraction compared to its peers. Everything feels well balanced with a brisk and quite spicy, chewy finish.

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru came across more closed than the domaine’s other Premier crus, light chalk dust scents permeating the red berry fruit.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru is a little more feisty on the nose with cranberry and wild strawberry scents and a very subtle metallic edge that does not detract from the overall aromatics. The palate offers sour cherry and a touch of brine on the entry, quite Morey-like in style with a structured slightly unyielding finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle to shave those edges.

Medium red. Complex, soil-driven aromas and flavors of smoke, minerals and underbrush. Dense and fat, with nuanced flavors of cherry, smoke and earth along with a saline aspect. More material here than in the Corbeaux, finishing subtle and persistent, with the dusty, broad tannins arriving late. This cuvee got a total of only three punchdowns. I find this suaver and sweeter than the 2006 but still built to age. This is aging in 25% new oak, whereas the other 2007 premier crus are in mostly once-used barrels.Inc. GSTSG$798.32 -

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru feels a little earthy and disjointed on the nose and never quite gets out of second gear.
