About this Item
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
2007
Good deep, bright red with ruby tones. Redcurrant, cherry, tobacco and earth on the sexy nose. Juicy, suave and laid-back; in a distinctly polite style for a young Chambertin but there's superb depth here; velvety in texture yet almost weightless. Best today on the very long, slowly mounting finish, which delivers mineral energy and captivating lingering sweetness. This, too, is extremely refined Burgundy.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 94/100 (Mar 2010)
2008
‘Medium red. Blueberry, minerals and spices on the nose, lifted by notes of rose and white pepper. Pure and silky but with terrific inner-mouth tension to the sappy crushed fruit flavors. Denser than the Latricieres, but every bit as vibrant--and more backward today. Finishes with ripe tannins and subtly complex notes of fruit, game and saline, smoky underbrush. Superb.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 94+/100 (Mar 2011)
