Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Ergot 2021

$19999

The maiden vintage of Gevrey-Chambertin Ergot marks an exciting new parcel for Jean-Louis Trapet—a lieu-dit adjacent to Premier Cru Petite Chapelle with limestone-free soils that yield distinctive character. The wine opens with cassis, sweet plums, orange zest, and spice, unfolding into a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate with textural, powdery tannins. Trapet's biodynamic farming and minimal intervention approach make this an immediate pleasure to drink.

Antonio Galloni

90-92 points

"The maiden 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Ergot 1er Cru comes from a parcel in the center of Petite Chapelle that has no limestone unlike the rest. It has a light and transparent nose with red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins, fine acidity, mineral-driven and stony towards its uncompromising paradoxically calcaire finish. Give it 2-3 years in bottle." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

91-93 points

"One of the Trapet family's historic holdings, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru En Ergot derives from a parcel acquired in the 1880s (during the phylloxera crisis, it sold for the lofty sum of 400 Francs per barrel) that's the continuation of premier cru Petite Chapelle but with deeper soils. Revealing aromas of cassis, sweet plums, orange zest and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a textural, gourmand profile and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish." —William Kelley

More about 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!
