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 93-95
"An overtly sauvage-suffused nose reflects additional notes of spice, red and dark currant and a plethora of floral elements. The suave yet beautifully detailed medium weight plus flavors display ample minerality along with focused power on the sleek, chiseled and superbly long finish that offers the best acid/fruit/tannin balance in the range. Patience however will be required as this too is compact and built-to-age."

Antonio Galloni

AG 96-98
"The 2021 Chambertin Grand Cru includes 60% whole clusters. This has a typically regal bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, loam, crushed stone and spicebox. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, wonderful depth, great intensity and vibrancy with a long and persistent finish. This simply builds and builds unlike the Chapelle-Chambertin, a magnificent 2021." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93-95
"The 2021 Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of dark cherries and mulberries mingled with notions of forest floor, vine smoke, dark chocolate and spices. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's deep and complete, with rich, powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, resonant finish. It's the cuvée that incorporates the highest percentage of whole bunch in the range this year." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 95
"As always, the Trapet Chambertin is among the reference standards for the appellation. The wine has a surprisingly deep ruby hue and abundant aromas of ripe blackberry and pomegranate with notes of earth, wild herbs, and flowers. Oak spice still marks the nose but should integrate with time. Both new wood and whole cluster inclusion was reduced this year, and the restraint suits the wine well, and the purity of the fruit shines like a beacon. Marvelous." -Charles Curtis
