Containing 40% whole bunch fruit, the 2016 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a well-knit, focused bouquet with blackberry and briary scents, cold wet stone and hints of black truffle. With time, there is a faint smokiness that begins to develop. The palate is very well balanced with sappy black fruit tinged with wild strawberry and blood orange. This has superb structure, not overly tannic, but it exerts a gentle and insistent grip. This is a riveting Chapelle-Chambertin from Jean-Louis and Jean Trapet.

(30 hectoliters per hectare produced; vinified with 40% whole clusters): Bright medium red. Deep aromas and flavors of dark plum and pungent minerals hint at superripeness but also show good energy and lift. Dense, chewy and suave, offering a captivating balance of sucrosité and vinosity. Firm tannins are nicely supported by the wine's natural concentration. Finishes with excellent length and plenty of early personality.
