Description

2015 Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Prieur, 1er Cru, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, BurgundyA fine, bright mid purple, this has a restrained bouquet but then a palate laden with rich, ripe, supple fruit and a gorgeous mineral finish. This is as good as I have tasted here. There is an exceptional intensity of dark fruit, dry and dense, with similar tannins to 05 but a bit of the juiciness of 2010. Drink 2023 2030. Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer Nicolas and David Rossignol report a healthy crop in quality and quantity, though a little reduced in

The nose presents a blend of butterscotch and hazelnut

with the vintage conditions determining the cépage and over 30% of the blend provided by rich and succulent Merlot

Fragrant cassis and prunes nose

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin

36% Merlot

which has a slight rambunctiousness you occasionally find among 1996 Côte de Nuits

The 1996 Château Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon

all of my favourite creamy and rich desserts come to mind in the form of sticky toffee pudding

versatile palate

rich caramel and warming spices are balanced by a fresh thyme and grassy character that highlights the raw grains

the zone which is perhaps the most resistant to rapid climate change as it is the most exposed to the Mistral and has a great number of the famous pudding stones
