Tasting notes:
About the Winery: Domaine Trapet is a wine company comprised of two estates, one in Alsace, the other in Burgundy. The company in its current dual-region configuration formed when Andrée Trapet inherited her parents' vineyards in Alsace in 2002. Her husband Jean-Louis has run Domaine Trapet Père et Fils in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1990, when he took over from his father Jean.
The latter property is one of the great historic estates of the Côte de Nuits. There are 16 hectares (39.5 acres) of estate vineyards, led by parcels in Chambertin (a very substantial 1.9ha), Latricières-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin.
The deep, concentrated wines from these grand cru sites are the flagship bottlings, but the Trapet Père et Fils portfolio also includes fine Pinot Noir from three premier cru and two village-level vineyards, as well as highly rated red and white Marsannay and Bourgogne Rouge and Blanc.
