Good full red. Complex nose melds wild raspberry, tobacco and earth. Suave and fine-grained but youthfully subdued, with ripe balancing acidity giving the broad red fruit and soil flavors a sappy quality and very good snap. Best today on the rising finish, where the tannins are firm but fine and arrive late. A powerful wine but not hard.Inc. VAT£427.19 -

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune, the 2011 Chambertin has a pure bouquet with wild strawberry, cranberry, animal fur and strong sous-bois aromas that are nicely defined, but lend it a feral quality that is intriguing. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp filigree tannins. This is tensile and focused with a sense of energy and poise that revs up on the gorgeous finish and leaves you crying for more. This is a great success for the domaine and is utterly sublime.Inc. VAT£243.59 -

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. VAT£271.19 -

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. VAT£1,628.29 -

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. VAT£1,304.29 -

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. VAT£1,664.29 -

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.

The 2009 Latricieres-Chambertin reveals gorgeous inner perfume and depth. The fruit is vibrant, chiseled and full of energy. Latricieres is one of the cooler sites in Gevrey, which was a big help in preserving freshness in 2009. A long, intense finish rounds things out in style. This is a superb wine from Rossignol-Trapet.

The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is very stubborn and closed on the nose, then opens wonderfully to offer red cherries, wild strawberry and pomegranate scents, but frustratingly, it ebbs away with further aeration.

It will need a few years to settle down, but it should come good in the end. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. VAT£934.69 -

Good deep red with ruby tones. Ripe, deep perfume of black cherry, dark berries, crushed rock, wild herbs and game lifted by a peppery topnote. Very concentrated, intense, taut wine with terrific volume and inner-mouth energy. A captivating floral quality contributes another dimension. Explosive on the back end, saturating the mouth and exciting the salivary glands. Finishes with terrific late spicy lift. This wonderfully perfumed, classy wine needs time.

The 2011 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, which comes from 0.57 hectares of 32-year-old vine, is attired in a perfumed ferrous bouquet that is broody at the moment and perhaps needs another year to open up.

The 2015 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru has an expressive bouquet with redcurrant, raspberry coulis, a touch of honey and a hint of Seville orange marmalade. It opens nicely in the glass, though does not slip into fifth gear at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, cohesive in the mouth and quite saline and spicy.
