(94 - 96) The 2012 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from one 0.65-hectare parcel from vines planted in 1938 planted by Louis Trapet, the other planted in 1965. It has a stony, earthy, introspective bouquet that is extremely defined, but will patently require several years in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, tensile tannins with piercing acidity and a riveting chalky texture that electrifies the senses. This is very natural, very terroir driven – intellectual as much as a sensory proposition. - NM
