About this wine

Character

A Villages wine with real individuality: the fruit reads dark without being dense, the structure stays silky yet retains a noticeable bite. Approachable from the first sip, but never generic.

Terroir and origin

Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy. Domaine Trapet farms 18.5 hectares, including the three Grand Crus Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin. In his vineyards, Jean-Louis Trapet found fossilised oyster shells, evidence of a prehistoric seabed. This is the origin of this wine's earthy vein reminiscent of wet stones.

Grape variety and vinification

Pure Pinot Noir. Jean-Louis Trapet, seventh generation, has farmed biodynamically since 1996, working by gravity and minimal intervention in the cellar. His creed: to guide, never to force. The Villages wines use only 20 to 25 percent new oak, so the fruit stands clearly in the foreground. 13.0% ABV, vinified dry.

On the palate

Juicy and refreshing, with real drive. Sour cherry leads the aromatic play, fruit and acidity meet on equal terms, joined by intense herbal spice and a touch of liquorice. The tannin is well built and supports the light-footed, invigorating impression.

Food pairings

Duck breast with cherries, saddle of venison in herb jus or a coq au vin. It also works with chanterelles on toasted bread and mature Époisses.

Highlights

When phylloxera destroyed the vineyards in the 1880s, Arthur Trapet secretly grafted his vines onto American rootstocks. Banned at the time, legalised in 1888, and today the foundation of viticulture.
