Tasting notes
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.

The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru vies with the Chapelle-Chambertin for "best bouquet in show," presenting a beautifully defined mixture of red and black fruit and touches of sous-bois and crushed iris petals. It seems to expand with aeration. The lightly spiced palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity, leading to a persistent finish. This is a fine Chambertin, although if you invited me out to dinner, I’d ask for the divine Chapelle-Chambertin.
Cask sample. Mid smudgy crimson. Sweet with both red fruit and oak. Much the purest of these Rossignol-Trapet wines, plenty of spice and firm tannins and a hint of smoky reduction. But overall a little bit tough. (JH)
