(92-96 points) Deeper purple here, and altogether a plumper feel, there is much more fruit on the palate than the Chapelle, though still some drying oak tannins behind, and the good acidity of the vintage. Prime, plump fruit, very good weight and length, the ripe cherry notes return. Tasted: December 2018.

(94-96 points) The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a tight-lipped bouquet, reticent at the moment, though it reluctantly opens with blackberry, bilberry and light graphite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and a supremely well judged line of acidity that makes this Grand Cru feel so natural and refined. This is a rare case of a sensual Latricières in the making. Bon vin! -- Neal Martin

95+ The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin from Domaine Trapet is absolutely brilliant in this vintage and was a bit more open for inspection than the reclusive Chapelle. The bouquet is pure, already very complex and utterly refined, wafting from the glass in a blend of black plums, black cherries, Cuban cigar wrapper, bitter chocolate, mustard seed, a hint of fresh nutmeg, a complex base of dark soil tones and cedary wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bdoied, pure and vibrant, with a lovely core of fruit, fine-grained tannins, bright acids and a very long, complex and utterly suave finish. This is still a very young wine, but it is so beautifully balanced this year that one can easily imagine it being drunk in its relative youth. That said, I would try to give it at least a decade’s worth of bottle age to allow its secondary layers to fully emerge. Great juice.
