About this wine
Character
A Grand Cru built on finesse rather than power: 13.0% ABV, dry, with the aromatic depth and fine-grained tannin the house is known for in Gevrey-Chambertin. Jean-Louis Trapet describes his work as guiding rather than forcing, and the wine shows exactly that.
Terroir and origin
Latricières-Chambertin lies in the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy and, together with Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin, is one of the three Grand Crus that form the heart of Domaine Trapet Père & Fils' 18.5 hectares. It is bottled at 53 route de Beaune in Gevrey-Chambertin.
Grape variety and vinification
Pure Pinot Noir. Since 1996, Jean-Louis Trapet has farmed the vineyards biodynamically, with precise soil work and observation rather than intervention. In the cellar, for the Grand Crus, he ferments 50 to 100 percent whole clusters and caps the proportion of new oak at 50 percent; the work is gentle and gravity-fed.
On the palate
A silky, medium-bodied flow of ripe fruit, dark cherry, raspberry and blackberry, underscored by violet, rose and undergrowth. The tannin is fine-grained, the acidity vibrant, the finish long, mineral and spicy. Opened young it needs air; with a few years of bottle age it gains further.
Food pairings
With saddle of venison with wild herbs, roast pigeon and boeuf bourguignon. For cheese, aged Comté and Époisses pair well.
Highlights
In the 1880s, Arthur Trapet secretly grafted vines onto American rootstock, forbidden at the time, legalised in 1888 and now the foundation of modern viticulture. Jean-Louis Trapet runs the estate in its seventh generation; the Guide des meilleurs vins de France awards it three stars, the highest rating.
