About this wine
Character
A Grand Cru that doesn't argue through power. 12.5% vol., vinified dry, silky in texture: depth with a light touch, complemented by fine-grained tannin that carries the structure without emphasising it. A wine with aging potential that benefits from time.
Terroir and origin
The Chapelle-Chambertin site lies at the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, on limestone-rich clay soil on a mid-slope position. Together with Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin, it is one of the three Grand Crus that form the core of Domaine Trapet Père & Fils' 18.5 hectares. The 2020 vintage was warm and dry in Burgundy.
Grape variety and vinification
Single-varietal Pinot Noir, hand-harvested. For the Grand Crus, Jean-Louis Trapet, seventh generation of the family, ferments 50 to 100 percent whole clusters; new oak accounts for no more than 50 percent. In the cellar he works by gravity and with minimal intervention, following the principle of guiding the grapes rather than forcing them.
On the palate
Silky and medium-bodied, with cherry and raspberry, violet and subtle spice. Beneath that, damp earth and undergrowth. The tannins are firmly integrated, and the freshness carries through to a long, mineral-driven finish.
Food pairings
With saddle of wild boar with wild mushrooms, partridge with lentils or bœuf bourguignon. Aged Époisses and Comté also pair well.
Special features
When phylloxera devastated Burgundy's vineyards in the 1880s, Arthur Trapet secretly grafted his vines onto American rootstock. This was prohibited until 1888. The estate has been farmed biodynamically since 1996.
