Domaine Trapet Père & Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2007

An ocean breeze-like amalgam of salinity, alkalinity, and animal nuances - along with fresh plum, cherry, peony, narcissus, and rose aromas - mark the alluring nose of Trapet's 2007 Chambertin. Firmly tannic yet fine-grained, it projects a striking sense of vivacity and levity for its vintage and appellation, with persistently wafting musky florality, deep, saline minerality, and animal mystery carrying into a finish of impressive intrigue and length. Look for this to reward your ministration for a dozen or more years. Score - 93. (David Schildknecht, erobertparker.com, June 2010)
