Tasting notes
The 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has an open and expressive bouquet with seductive, sensual brambly red fruit—cranberry and wild strawberry—wilted rose petal and light sous-bois scent. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and lightly spiced, also showing a welcome edginess. There is a fleeting caramel-like tincture that emerges toward the finish that just feels a bit incongruous to what otherwise is a fine Grand Cru, but that disappears and I duly raise my score. That said, I feel that the Domaine has produced better vintages than in 2019. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The whole cluster vinification is discernible on the ripe and elegant aromas of herbal tea, plum liqueur, violet and a pretty range of spice and soft wood elements. The mouthfeel of the medium weight plus flavors is also quite suave and seductive but with more volume and a bit more density as well before tightening up on the lingering if slightly warm finish. This is firm but not especially austere and a wine that should age gracefully while being accessible after only a few years.
Notes of rose petals, orange rind, cassis, rich soil tones and raw cocoa preface Trapet's 2019 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, a medium to full-bodied, elegantly sumptuous and enveloping wine that's deep and complete, with lively acids, velvety tannins and a long, saline finish. As I've observed before, this derives exclusively from holdings located in lieu-dit En la Chapelle.
