Bright medium red. Distinctly mineral-driven aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry, clove and pepper. Sweet, fine-grained and vibrant, showing lovely delicacy and finesse to the cherry and spice flavors. The long finish features very suave, fine-grained tannins and terrific chewy energy for the year. (Trapet has reduced the percentage of new oak for this wine to 40%.)

The 2009 Chapelle-Chambertin caresses the palate from start to finish. Fresh and vibrant throughout, the Chapelle comes across as strikingly beautiful in every dimension. Dried flowers, spices and berries wrap around the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. David and Nicolas Rossignol began harvesting on September 12th. They used a fair amount of whole clusters, ranging from 33% or so for the 1ers up to 50% for the Grand Crus. The wines saw 14-21 days of cuvaison. After debourbage, the wines were racked into oak, roughly 15% new barrels for the villages, 33% for the 1ers and 50% for the Grand Crus. The malos were early and quick, and the wines were bottled between January and March 2011. A Becky Wasserman Selection, Le Serbet, Beaune, FR; tel. +33 (380) – 262 060

Wonderfully inviting, pure, delicate cherry nose. Silky cherry fruit within a firm but smooth framework. Already seductive though not overly soft. Elegant, succulent and very long. Delicious. (JH)
