99 points (19.5/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "Chambertin [2011] releases ripe fruit, vine peach, and spicy notes, with a slight woody perception that in no way detracts from its harmony and perfectly complements its complexity. (2014)"
96 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2011 Trapet Chambertin is absolutely magical and one of the best 2011s that I tasted on this trip. The classic and youthful nose offers up scents of red and black cherries, black minerality, plummy overtones, raw cocoa, mustard seed, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and youthfully structured, with the purity of the vintage very much in evidence, a great core, ripe, firm tannins and superb focus and grip on the very, very long and soil-driven finish. This is the most aromatically expressive of the three grand crus here today, but also more shut down on the attack and reserved. However, the backend purity and energy are enormous and this will clearly be a brilliant wine in the fullness of time. 2025-2075. (May/Jun 2013)"
95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "A huge wine for the year, Trapet's 2011 Chambertin graces the palate with dark blue/purplish fruit, violets, cloves and savory herbs. Even with all of its intensity, the 2011 is a deceptively mid-weight Chambertin with fabulous balance and class. It should drink well relatively early. Drink: 2019-2036. (Mar 2014)"
94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 3 different parcels that total 2 ha). A discreet touch of wood sets off equally cool, ultra-pure and restrained aromas of dark berries, earth, wet stone and a gorgeous panoply of floral elements. There is superb intensity to the powerful and tautly muscular large-scaled flavors that exude a very fine minerality on the overtly austere, serious and strikingly long finish that delivers a whole other dimension of complexity. As Chambertin goes, this is not an especially big or brawny wine and while the word finesse is not really apt in this case, it is more refined than usual. Drink: 2028+. (Jan 2014)"
