Rossignol Trapet, Gevrey Chambertin Etelois Vintage:2023 This is sleekly muscled withA slightly riper and more elegant nose presents notes of red currant, plum, violet and earth but less sauvage nuances. The sleek, round and nicely caressing medium weight flavors are not quite as dense, but they do possess a finer texture and a refreshing salinity on the sneaky long finale.
