Rossignol Trapet Chapelle Chambertin 2009

Grand Cru Burgundy from one of the great recent vintages, from a top biodynamic producer in Gevrey, the wonderful Rossignol-Trapet.  2009 was a ripe, opulent vintage in Burgundy, and the reds are drinking fantastically well right now…

“This is also quite pretty with a perfumed, cool and airy nose of high-toned and spicy red pinot fruit that evidences plenty of floral influence as well as earth and mineral undertones. This is especially fresh for the vintage with excellent verve on the intense, detailed and restrained full-bodied flavors that culminate in a powerful, focused, quite firm and moderately austere finish that delivers impressive persistence. There is good muscle here and while the mouth feel is not exactly robust, there is plenty of size and weight” 93/100 Burghound
