99 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The 2020 Chambertin from Trapet is sublime. It owns 1.85ha over three parcels in a variety of soils and 15% of the vines are trained high on stakes ('en echalas'). This diversity gives a complex fruit expression, from plum and black cherry to pomegranate and red currant, shot through with floral notes, spice and mineral. However, it is also a wine of power and depth, with the tannin and extract to live 80 years or more. One certainty: Trapet has mastered the art of Chambertin. Drinking Window: 2022-2035. (May 2022)"

95-99 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "100% whole bunch vinification, picked around 15th September. Very dense crimson purple with a darker centre. No reduction, this is entirely pure. The bouquet shows the typical ripe fruit on the nose, but not much detail. Super sensual, with a slow moving wave of ultra dense fruit. With the Chambertin we come back to a classical red fruit despite the ripeness. The density is striking. A little crunchiness to the firm tannins. We need to wait and see after racking if this potentially brilliant 2020 Chambertin can confirm a place in the Five Star category. (Nov 2021)"

98 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Trapet family’s 2020 Chambertin is a great young wine. The bouquet delivers beautiful precision and purity in its constellation of black cherries, sweet dark berries, cassis, black minerality, cigar wrapper, grilled meats, just a touch of mustard seed, cedar and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and utterly complete, with a rock solid core, superb soil signature, ripe, firm tannins and a long, vibrant and complex finish. Great juice in the making, but this will need plenty of cellaring time to unfurl. 2037-2100. (Nov/Dec 2021)"

98 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Aromatic kaleidoscope in the notes of blueberries, cashew, fine leather, cocoa and bark of the Chambertin, a wine of great scope and voluptuousness. Remains energetic, it portends a glorious maturity, with a fiery character and a very persistent finish with flavors of liquorice stick. (2023)"

95-97 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on 7 September and a small plot around five days later. It has a beautiful, quite ethereal bouquet with a complex mélange of red and black fruit, the 80-90% whole bunch completely assimilated with wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, harmonious and smooth, immense depth and elegance as it fans out towards the finish with perfect sapidity. Sublime. Drink: 2026-2055. (May 2022)"

94 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 3 different parcels that total 1.85 ha). An even more restrained nose timidly expresses slightly riper aromas of plum, dark currant, rose petal and plenty of sauvage character. There is both excellent volume and mid-palate density to the bigger-bodied to the sappy and intensely mineral-driven flavors that are blessed with a taut muscularity on the moderately austere, serious and very firmly structured finale. This is expressly built-to-age and a wine that is definitely going to need at least a decade before it could be reasonably approached. Drink: 2038+. (Jan 2022)"
