Concentrated youthful purple. There is a firmly regal quality to the nose. First you think it is all there then you have to search thirdly an immense wave of fruit but light on its feet sweeps right across the palate ethereal and with its feet on the ground. An extraordinarily long finish indeed. A breathtaking Chambertin. By Jasper Morris
The 2022 Trapet Chambertin impresses with its luminous blackberry and fig fruit aromas shaded with hints of earth and spice. It is a wine of superb density and incredible length with a marvellous velvety texture; massive tannins can give a slightly rustic feel to the wine but with time these will resolve to create a wine that will last for decades to come. The grapes are from the domaine's 1.85 hectares of ideally-placed vineyards that are now trained on stakes and grown without hedging to yield this magnificent wine.

The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru 100% whole bunches and 60% new oak is blessed with a complex nose: blackberry bilberry light estuarine scents and hints of pain d'épices. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins and a firm grip - perhaps a more demonstrative Chambertin in the making with a very sustained and grippy finish. Superb but like the Chapelle drinkers will require patience. (Drink between 2030 - 2060) By Neal Martin
The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru is another terrific wine from Trapet unfurling in the glass with deep aromas of plums cherries and sweet berries mingled with hints of warm spices rose petals and coniferous forest floor. Full-bodied ample and satiny it's seamless and complete with a layered core of fruit framed by sweet powdery tannins. It's as impressive for its harmony as it is for its plenitude. The Trapet renaissance continues and that's confirmed by a fine set of 2022s at this Gevrey-Chambertin reference point. As readers will remember there have been a host of changes at this address in recent years: in 2020 fully seven hectares of the domaine's holdings were converted both to échalas and to higher trellising stakes and wires depending on the steepness of the slope. Since then changes have been rolled out in other parcels too. Given the extent of Trapet's holdings in prime climats that means that the walk from Morey-Saint-Denis to Gevrey-Chambertin suddenly looks rather different. In the cuverie winemaking continues to be very classical with important percentages of whole clusters. There are more smaller cuvées too including a Gevrey-Chambertin 1859 from old vines in lieu-dit Champerrier as well as separate bottlings for the domaine's premiers crus that were formerly blended together.

This is the most floral wine in the range with a huge array of such elements adding elegance to the poached plum dark currant smoked game exotic tea and moderate wood aromas. The gorgeously textured mineral-driven and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors possess a Zen-like harmony on the superbly long complex and built-to-age finale where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is potentially spectacular and a wine that should amply reward 15 to 20 years of aging. (Drink starting 2037)
