La Revue du Vin de France (SPECIAL ISSUE - MAY 2024) : 98/100.

Guide RVF des Meilleurs Vins de France 2024 (sept.2023) : 98/100. Considerable energy and assertive tannins in the very consistent Chambertin, with exceptional flavor precision: its nose of black cherry, spices, cocoa, and mint is dazzling.

Robert Parker's wine advocate (William Kelley, January 2023) : 93-95/100. The 2021 Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of dark cherries and mulberries mingled with notions of forest floor, vine smoke, dark chocolate, and spices. Full-bodied, layered, and velvety, it's deep and complete, with rich, powdery tannins, lively acids, and a long, resonant finish. It's the cuvée that incorporates the highest percentage of whole bunch in the range this year.

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

“Chambertin!… Its name evokes prestige. The place is one of the noblest there is. This nobility, active and alive, renews every summer in the sun, the miracle of nature”
Gaston Roupnel.

Grape variety: Pinot noir

Area: 1 ha 90 ares, 3 plots, the oldest planted in 1919

This miracle of nature, sensed by Arthur Trapet one beautiful May morning in 1919, when he decided to buy his first plot of Chambertin, we strive to be worthy of it.

Day after day, season after season, we work to bring this royal terroir to life.
This vineyard actually ensures the longest reign in history. Its first mention dates back to 630, when Duke Amalgaire gave the elite vineyard to the monks of the Abbey of Bèze. A little later, in 1219, the Abbey of Bèze located northeast of Dijon ceded its domaine to the chapter of the St Mammès Cathedral of Langres. It was at this time that the mention of “boschus de campo Bertuyn” appeared, the woods of Chambertin immediately adjacent to Clos de Béze. It was then a field owned by a certain Bertin.

Over the following centuries, many owners shaped this wonderful land. “Men change, but the land remains.”

This sumptuous land where the blue blood of Pinot Noir flows has a complex geological composition. The lower part is marl-limestone with superb clays with a large internal surface. The upper part is much whiter and more marly, which slows the vegetative cycle and gives this jewel of a wine a royal and rare balance!

This wine from Chambertin opens an infinite, limitless, elusive universe, one of the richest there is!
