Dom. Trapet Pere & Fils, Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, Gevrey Chambertin, 2009 | Red Wine, 75cL, Organic, BiodynamicBy Winebuyers

Dom. Trapet Pere & Fils, Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru, Gevrey Chambertin, 2009 is a 75cl red wine. The Trapet family have been a large landholder in northern Cote d'Or for generations. In 1993 the estate was divided to allow two dedicated winemakers to go their own way, as it turned out both into organic and biodynamic viticulture. Trapet also drew the style back from the heavily-oaked and extracted wines of previous generations to wines of elegance and purity with no lack of depth and richness. The domaine farms 18 hectares with plots in Le Chambertin, Latricieres-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin as well as five well-sited Premier Crus. All of these wines are worth considering and deliver relative value for money at this level. The Domaine rates the top three stars by the Revue de la Vins de France. Trapet owns 0.56 hectares of land in Chapelle-Chambertin, a vineyard with rather shallow and lean topsoil why the wines tends to do well especially in cooler and wetter vintages. Trapet partially destems the fruit before fermentation.
