About this wine
Character
The Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée "1859" is the village wine of Domaine Trapet Père & Fils and carries the house's signature: precision, aromatic depth, fine-grained tannin. Jean-Louis Trapet runs the estate in its seventh generation according to a simple principle: guide, never force.
Terroir and origin
The domaine farms 18.5 hectares in Gevrey-Chambertin, including the Grand Crus Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin. The cuvée's name recalls 1859, the year the family acquired its first vineyard, "en Dérée". Limestone-rich soils with clay components give the wine firmness and mineral depth. The 2021 vintage demanded hard work: spring frost, a cool summer, small yields — but freshness and tension in return.
Grape variety and vinification
Pinot Noir from sites farmed biodynamically since 1996. In the cellar, work is done by gravity with minimal intervention; for the village wines, the share of new oak is 20 to 25 percent, with the barrel serving maturation rather than flavouring. 12.5% vol. keeps the wine lean.
On the palate
A silky texture, fine-grained tannin and crisp acidity carry dark cherry, raspberry and cassis. Beneath that, violet, damp earth, cinnamon and black pepper. The finish stays long and spicy.
Food pairing
Roast partridge or quail, coq au vin, paired with aged Comté or Époisses.
Notable features
When phylloxera destroyed Burgundy's vineyards in the 1880s, Arthur Trapet secretly grafted his vines onto American rootstock; the method was legalised in 1888. The Guide des meilleurs vins de France awards the estate three stars, its highest rating.
