Left Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils

Domaine Trapet is not exactly a new name in Burgundy. They've been growing grapes in Gevrey-Chambertin since the 1800s, and have amazing parcels in all the best vineyards, up to and including Le Chambertin. Back in the day, they sold their best grapes to the likes of Domaine Drouhin and Maison Leroy.

But since the 1960s, they've been bottling their own wines. The style has fluctuated a bit, as styles have varied with the generations. Today the domaine is run by Jean-Louis Trapet, whose style can best be summarized as a laser-like focus on making delicious Pinot Noir.

Here are the technicalities of that: light extraction (a touch of bâtonnage or punching down at the beginning of fermentation, but just remontage—pumping over—after that), very little new oak, and whole-cluster when the grapes are ideally healthy (which is quite often, as the farming is biodynamic).

This sounds like what many of Burgundy's best are doing today. But in one area Trapet departs: while "reductive" winemaking is all the rage (limiting the wine's exposure to oxygen), Trapet likes to make his wines open and accessible from release, including by using as little sulfur as possible in the process. That's how he makes his Pinot Noir so delicious!

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"A more elegant and once again, perfumed nose features notes of essence of plum, violet and a pretty range of spice wisps. The supple, delicious and appealingly energetic flavors are shaped by finer-grained tannins on the attractively texture, stylish and youthfully austere finish where a touch of minerality adds a sense of lift. Worth checking out."

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos-Prieur 1er Cru offers more red fruit on the nose, a little ripe and fleshier compared to the La Petite Chapelle. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very good weight, though I find more nuance in Trapet's other cuvées, hence my more parsimonious score." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 94
"Notes of smoky cherries, red berries, orange rind and exotic spices preface the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur, a medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated wine framed by lively acids and rich, powdery tannins. Seamless and enveloping, it's a charming, giving wine that will offer a broad drinking window." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 93
"The ripe plummy fruit comes through on the nose and palate, with a full complement of spice and earth notes, but there is no lack of firm tannins, either. A supple, generous wine, with a lush and dense texture. This 0.4ha parcel is located in stony, well-drained soils just underneath Mazis-Chambertin. The fruit is partially destemmed and slowly fermented with a gentle extraction."
