Trapet Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021

95-98 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Louis considers that Latricières-Chambertin is typically three degrees cooler than neighbouring Combottes. 40% whole bunch vinification. Glowing purple. A touch of reduction on the nose but a vibrant luxurious fruit nonetheless. There is a gorgeous coating of a deep dark velvet fruit with the structure behind perfectly poised, refined tannins and clean acidity. Very long. A gorgeous wine in the making. Louis feels that 2020 lost the plot of Latricières – but not at all 2021. Drink from 2028-2038. (Dec 2022)"

96+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin from Domaine Trapet is also down fifty percent this year due to the April frost damage. The wine is utterly classic on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet wafting from the glass in a black fruity blend of sweet dark berries, cassis, a complex base of black minerality, cigar wrapper, a touch of currant leaf, grilled meats, just a touch of stem tones, cedar and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and very transparent in profile, with a stunning core of fruit, great soil inflection, ripe, buried tannins and superb backend energy on the long, complex and seamlessly balanced finish. Great juice in the making. 2036-2100. (Nov/Dec 2022)"

96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Sharp and distinctive, Latricières is a lacey wine of exceptional freshness: with its silky tannins and cool, pure character, it unabashedly reflects its terroir. (2024)"

94-95 points/'Very Fine+,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "Latricières-Chambertin is becoming a personal favorite at Trapet, although I appreciate that the Chambertin will win the game when the vintage reaches its conclusion. That said, this is a hidden gem every year, benefitting from the cooling breezes of the Combe de Grisard. The 2021 is cool, perfumed, and delicate, with an impressive hedonistic presence. It’s quite light-footed compared to the 2020, so presumably the lesser wine in the long run. But the ’21 is a truly sensual glass, and I adore it. Drink from 2032. (11/23/22)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, historically the last Grand Cru picked, has a strict, backward, serious nose that is a bit grumpy at the moment. It gradually loosens up to reveal red fruit and touches of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, sorbet-fresh red fruit with just a touch of oak to be assimilated on the finish. Very good potential - unashamedly Latricières. Drink: 2026-2048. (Jan 2023)"

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "There is something about the cool 2021 vintage that ‘fits’ with Latricières, where the influence from the Combe Grisard is more pronounced. According to Pierre Trapet, ‘Latricières is the moon; Chapelle is the sun'. Initially, the result is somewhat restrained, with a charming pomegranate fruit emerging on the palate. The feel is linear and concentrated, with a mineral/saline character to the savoury fruit on the palate that carries this to a very long finish and the top level of Gevrey quality. Drinking Window: 2027-2055. (Nov 2022)"

92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru exhibits aromas of dark wild berries and plums mingled with licorice, forest floor and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it's deep and seamless, with a vibrant spine of acidity and powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. (1/31/23)"
