Jasper Morris 95 pts! Right medium deep colour, some stems but in a lovely coating of high glass fruit. Poised and stylish, a hint of austerity, very well knit across the palate, super length. Very together wine, not blockbuster, but with a great finish
John Gilman 94+ The 2014 Chapelle from Domaine Rossignol-Trapet is sappier than the Latricières, but not a big step up in ultimate quality. The youthful bouquet is pure and complex, wafting from the glass in a constellation of cherries, red plums, raw cocoa, a superbly complex signature of soil, gamebirds, a touch of nutskin, mustard seed and cedary wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, nascently complex and very refined, with a superb core of red fruit, lovely transparency, fine-grained tannins and a very long, tangy and utterly poised finish. This is going to be a superb and utterly classic example of Chapelle-Chambertin, but it needs time! (Drink between 2025 - 2075)
Burghound 94 pts! Once again there is an overt floral component to the beautifully fresh nose that offers up notes of black raspberry, earth and discreet spice and wood nuances. There is fine detail and plenty of volume to the less obviously mineral-inflected middle weight plus flavors that also possess a velvety mouth feel thanks to the solid mid-palate density, all wrapped in a balanced and lingering if slightly austere finale. This too is definitely firmly structured and like the Latricières is not going to make for good early drinking. Excellent. (Drink starting 2026)
