A rich purple colour, this has a fabulous, heady nose, very appealing. There are some glorious layers of velvet here, displaying more flesh at this stage than Latricires; really long and lovely. There is a nice touch of refreshing acidity behind.

A vibrant, glowing purple with immediately more energy to the nose than Latricières, yet also with a sense of precision. It fills the mouth, a tannin or two behind but nicely integrated with the fruit. Finishes entirely on the energy.

It was difficult at the start and difficult at the end but OK in between”, says Nicolas, who began harvesting on 6th October. Younger vines flowered better, giving more volume than 2012, and only the Beaune vineyards were hailed on. There were no grave problems with rot, and they avoided heavy extraction as the colour came easily enough. Nicolas noted that cool vintages such as 2013 are best for terroir definition, and certainly the hallmark of his wines this year is elegance, and precision.

Although very backward at this early stage in its life, this shows signs of depth and concentration with an explosion of black cherry fruit on the palate kept fresh by a core of crystalline minerality. I suspect this wine may need up to two decades for all the complexities on the palate to be fully revealed. 

Another wine with very fine colour but a slightly more discreet nose than the Latricires-Chambertin, this Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Rossignol-Trapet builds steadily to the back of the palate, fattening nicely before reaching a precise, yet exceptionally long finish.

Noticeably a fuller purple colour than other wines from the Rossignol-Trapet stable, this Chapelle-Chambertin has a really stylish and graceful nose. The fruit coats the mouth, without massive density, and the stems have been used to provide freshness - as this wine always produces soft ripe fruit. This is a great success in 2010.

Several years down the road since they switched to biodynamic farming, the Rossignol brothers are looking at ways to fine-tune the finished product with a few tweaks in their cellar work. They have been careful to aerate their excellent 2010s throughout the vinification process to avoid any problems of reduction and to soften the end palate of the wines. Some stems were used again this year, albeit less than in 2009.

Compared to the evident charm of Rossignol-Trape's Latricières, his Chapelle-Chambertin is much more intense and tightly coiled but, don’t be deceived – there is at least as much fruit just waiting for the moment to express itself.

Boasting a wealth of perfume on the nose, this is joyously sophisticated. It is notably substantial through the middle and concludes with a magnificently scented finish. Wonderful purity and lift on the nose. Bright, strawberry fruit laced with a touch of sandalwood and spice. Great concentration on the palate - seamless tannins giving lovely balance and a long, warming finish. This has it all - power, complexity and a true sense of terroir, at a price that puts even modest Cru Classé claret to shame. Just on the nursery slopes below its drinking plateau. I would cellar for another two years and enjoy up until 2018.
