About this wine
Character
This Gevrey-Chambertin favours finesse over power: fine-grained tannin, aromatic depth, structure without heaviness. In magnum format, the young 2023 vintage matures more slowly, lending it freshness and calm.
Terroir and origin
The Domaine Trapet Père & Fils in Gevrey-Chambertin farms 18.5 hectares, including the three grands crus Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin. In its Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards, Jean-Louis Trapet found fossil oyster shells, evidence of a former seabed. The cuvée's name refers to 1859, the year the family acquired its first vineyard «en Dérée».
Grape variety and vinification
Pure Pinot Noir, farmed biodynamically since 1996. The approach favours observation over intervention: precise soil work in the vineyard, gentle gravity-based cellar work, with 20 to 25 percent new oak for the village wines. The wine is dry and has 13.0% vol.
On the palate
Ripe cherry and red forest berries lead, followed by violet, damp earth and undergrowth. The tannin is fine-grained, the acidity keeps the fruit lively, and the finish stays long and clear.
Special features
Jean-Louis Trapet runs the estate in its seventh generation, guided by the motto «Les hommes passent et la terre reste». In the 1880s, his ancestor Arthur Trapet secretly grafted vines onto American rootstock, forbidden at the time and legalised in 1888. The Guide des meilleurs vins de France awards it three stars, the highest rating.
