Domaine Trapet Père et Fils

Trapet Père et Fils is a seventh generation Gevrey-Chambertin estate and one of the largest holders of Chambertin.

Today it is operated by Jean-Louis Trapet, who is regarded as one of the pioneers of natural viticulture in the region, and continues to lead the way in biodynamic farming (along with pals Frederic Lafarge, Dominique Lafon, Lalou Bize Leroy and others). As of 2009 the entire estate is demeter-certified.
The estate is known for its three great Grand Crus, though the quality at Domaine Trapet Père et Fils is simply outstanding up and down their hierarchy.

The domaine also owns parcels in three top premier crus: Clos Prieur, Les Corbeaux and Petite Chapelle. The Clos Prieur and Petite Chapelle plots were some of the the first vines purchased by the family in the late 19th century, followed by Petite Chapelle in 1877, and Clos Prieur in 1893. The Les Corbeaux parcel was purchased much more recently. Because these plots are relatively small, vintages with tiny yields are sometimes combined to make a wine named “Cuvee Capita 1er Cru”.

Trapet’s outstanding grand crus (Latricières-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Chambertin) are crafted to really highlight their underlying terroirs. Though they may not be as ‘big’ or powerfully constructed as some of their other more flashy neighbors in Gevrey-Chambertin, they are in the top echelon in terms of aromatics, flavor complexity, expression of terroir, and aging potential.

Cuvées

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Ostréa 2021

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

A slightly riper nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark currant, plum and similar floral and earth nuances. There is slightly better volume and mid-palate density to the medium-bodied flavors that exude more evident minerality on the equally rustic and youthfully austere but firmer finale. This is quite good and worth considering. Drink 2031+ Allen Meadows, Burghound 89-91 Points ♥ Outstanding The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea has turned out nicely, unwinding in the glass wi

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey Chambertin ‘Cuvée 1859’ 2021

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Relatively deeply pitched aromas include violet, plum, black pinot fruit and plenty of sauvage and spice characters along with a hint of herbal tea. The sleek and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors exude a bracing salinity on the impressively long and moderately austere finale that is lightly rustic.

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey Chambertin ‘Cuvée 1859’ 2019

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, France

The Derée Champérier vineyard was purchased by the Trapet family in 1859. After 160 uninterrupted years of farming this terroir, current generation Pierre & Louis wanted to make a cuvée as an hommage to the many generations of Trapet vignerons that have come before them. Thanks to its purity and terroir-transparency, they felt the 2019 vintage was the perfect moment to produce the Cuvee 1859.

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Ostréa 2015

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

This is aromatically similar to the straight Gevrey cuvée with the exception that it is more restrained and even more floral-suffused. There is a beguiling sense of energy to the beautifully well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that are more mineral-driven on the racy, dusty, sappy and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is an excellent Gevrey villages though note that it will require at least some patience as it's presently quite firm. Recommended. Drink 2025+ Allen Meadows, Burghound 90Po

1er Cru

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Les Corbeaux’ 2021

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

A discreet application of wood sets off the more overtly sauvage-suffused aromas of plum, wild cherry and newly turned earth. The succulent, delicious and sappy medium-bodied flavors possess a taut muscularity and good punch that carries over to the moderately austere and rustic if longer and more complex finale. Note that this is also more structured and wine that will certainly need some patience. Drink 2033+ Allen Meadows, Burghound 90-92 Points

"Discreet but perceptible wood frames the ripe essence of plum, red and dark cherry, violet and a touch of violet. There is equally good energy to the suave, round and richer medium-bodied flavors that possess a sophisticated mouthfeel thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the serious, firm, and firmly austere, finale.

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Aléa’ 2010

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

(a single cuvee made from all of Trapet's premier crus, as the crop was so tiny in 2010; vinified with about 40% whole clusters and aged in one-third new oak): Bright medium red. Lovely tangy red fruit aromas are complicated by rose petal and a whiff of game. Dense and suave, boasting terrific energy and precision to its red fruit and spice flavors. Lovely thrust to this vibrant midweight, which finishes with fine-grained tannins and superb cut and energy. March 2013 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous 92

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021

The 2021 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru exhibits aromas of dark wild berries and plums mingled with licorice, forest floor and spices.

"Trapet's 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru is a profound wine in the making, and it can keeps company with vintage's finest. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cherries and cassis, complemented by notions of raw cocoa, blood orange, smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a weightless, elegant profile despite its prodigious concentration, its structuring tannins entirely concealed in an ample core of lively, vibrant fruit."
