The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin from Domaine Trapet is also down fifty percent this year due to the April frost damage. The wine is utterly classic on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet wafting from the glass in a black fruity blend of sweet dark berries, cassis, a complex base of black minerality, cigar wrapper, a touch of currant leaf, grilled meats, just a touch of stem tones, cedar and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and very transparent in profile, with a stunning core of fruit, great soil inflection, ripe, buried tannins and superb backend energy on the long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. Great juice in the making. (Drink between 2036-2100) (JG) 96+

There is something about the cool 2021 vintage that ‘fits’ with Latricières, where the influence from the Combe Grisard is more pronounced. According to Pierre Trapet, ‘Latricières is the moon; Chapelle is the sun'. Initially, the result is somewhat restrained, with a charming pomegranate fruit emerging on the palate. The feel is linear and concentrated, with a mineral/saline character to the savoury fruit on the palate that carries this to a very long finish and the top level of Gevrey quality. (CC)

The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru exhibits aromas of dark wild berries and plums mingled with licorice, forest floor and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it's deep and seamless, with a vibrant spine of acidity and powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. (WK) 92-94+
