Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Clos Prieur 2015

94 points Tim Atkin, MW: "Jean-Louis Trapet’s vines are in Clos Prieur Haut, the better part of the vineyard. Wild strawberry aromas, some tobacco notes, savoury spice from 50% whole bunches and a sweet core of berry fruit. Textured, fine and well balanced with considerable complexity. 2017-26. (2017)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "In contrast to the freakishly ripe Petite Chapelle, the 2015 Clos Prieur from Domaine Trapet is one classic customer, coming in at 13.2 percent octane and offering up superb purity on both the nose and palate. The bouquet is young and classic, wafting from the glass in a blend of black cherries, cassis, black minerality, venison, woodsmoke, espresso and just a touch of new wood. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off outstanding mid-palate depth, with a very transparent profile, fine-grained tannins and a long, perfectly focused and tangy finish. Utterly classic in style and exceptional in quality. Just add bottle age! 2025-2065. (Nov/Dec 2016)"

92 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Here the expressive and almost as elegant nose derives primarily from the red side of the fruit spectrum while adding plenty of earth influence to the floral and spice hints. There is a highly seductive mouthfeel to the generously proportioned if slightly less refined medium-bodied flavors that offer both good richness and complexity on the beautifully persistent finish that is equally well-structured. This beauty should drink reasonably well early on. Drink: 2027+. (Jan 2018)"
