Trapet Pere et Fils, Latricieres Chambertin other_regions_italy The palate is very wellBigger and richer than the Chapelle if not quite as intense or fine with beautifully complex, almost lush aromas of red fruits and traces of both earth and game followed by fine, precise flavors and wonderful length. This is sweet and complete, indeed seamless and comes across as more compact yet also more powerful. I prefer this in that it delivers pure power without weight with that lovely velvety quality on the finish.
