About this wine
Character
A Gevrey-Chambertin of the quiet kind. Fine-grained tannin, aromatic depth and a clear line of red cherry and dark berries, underpinned by saline, chalky minerality. Structure without heaviness, complexity without opulence: Jean-Louis Trapet describes himself as "un pur et un doux", pure and gentle, and this premier cru shows exactly that.
Terroir and origin
Clos Prieur is a premier cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin on the Côte de Nuits. The village's soils were once a seabed: in his Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards, Jean-Louis Trapet found fossilised oyster shells, which give the wines their saline, chalky signature. The domaine farms 18.5 hectares, including the grands crus Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin.
Grape variety and vinification
Pure Pinot Noir. Since 1996, Jean-Louis Trapet, the house's seventh generation, has farmed the vines biodynamically. In the cellar, observation takes precedence over intervention: precise soil work in the vineyard, a portion of whole clusters, gentle gravity-led handling, new oak used only sparingly. The grapes are accompanied, never forced.
On the palate
Dry, at 13.0% vol., restrained in volume and long in finish. The tannin stays fine-grained, the acidity keeps the cherry fruit fresh, and a saline, chalky trace lingers on the finish.
Distinctive features
When phylloxera devastated Burgundy's vineyards in the 1880s, Arthur Trapet secretly grafted his vines onto resistant American rootstock, illegal at the time, legalised in 1888. The family's credo remains "Les hommes passent et la terre reste": people pass, the land remains. The Guide des meilleurs vins de France awards the domaine three stars, its highest rating.
