About this Item

2004 Chambertin
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Domaine Trapet comprises of two estates – one in Alsace and the other in Burgundy. The Burgundy estate was formerly named Domaine Louis Trapet and is now run by Jean-Louis Trapet, the son of Jean, and his wife, Andrée Trapet. They have managed the domaine in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1990. It is one of the great historic estates of the Côte de Nuits, holding 16 hectares of biodynamically-farmed vineyards in Le Chambertin, Latricières-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin. While known for their deep, concentrated Grands Crus, Trapet Père et Fils also produce Pinot Noirs from three Premier Cru and two village-level vineyards.

Critics Ratings

‘Mid ruby. Very good complexity and integration even if not especially intense, Something quite raw and citric about it. Chewy and pretty hard work. All as a promise rather than a reality. Is it really such an attribute to be so charmless? I suspect not. Though the finish is good.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Aug 2007)

‘Full red. Highly nuanced, perfumed nose hints at red fruits, spices, minerals and flowers. Like liquid silk in the mouth, saturating the entire palate but retaining an almost magically light touch; this is sweet and rich yet dry in the fashion of the best Burgundies. Dense, supple and very long on the aftertaste. Among the world's pinots, only Burgundy can have texture like this.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 93+/100 (Mar 2007)

‘From one of the great Gevrey-Chambertin families comes this hugely authentic, impressive wine. With its solid tannins and ripe strawberry fruits, this is big and intense. It is delicious now and shows potential for excellent aging. The finish has both roundness and power.’ - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Mar 2007)
