Domaine Jean Louis Trapet - Chapelle-Chambertin - Rouge 2000

Wine:

Of the trio of grands crus that he offers, our heart was set on the Chapelle-Chambertin 2000, the closest to being ready to drink. This wine represents the highest state of the art. The flesh of the Pinot fruit is full, lascivious and brimming with complexity. Hugh !
