Rossignol Trapet, Latricieres Chambertin

Rossignol Trapet, Latricieres Chambertin(from vines planted in 1955). Here too there is enough reduction present to require plenty of aeration. The tightly wound, focused and strikingly intense flavors possess excellent mid palate density along with a superbly long finish that is akin to rolling small pebbles around in the mouth. This austere, backward and firmly structured effort will need at least 6 to 8 years to add flesh and complexity and will likely require fully 15+ years to reveal

this is a serious buy

Pol Roger's 2012 Brut Blanc de Blancs is terrific

Bruno Giacosa passed away in early 2018 but his style and standards are being maintained by his daughter Bruna

yet ethereal and even graceful

A broadranging and wonderfully elegant array features notes of spice

Sumptuous and yet also structured

Harmonious and extremely long

this brilliant effort needs a handful of years in the cellar and will live to see its 30th birthday in fine form

painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience

serious and impressively persistent finish

serious and youthfully austere finale

Seven percent was fermented in concrete eggs
