we drove further north for a wine-pairing lunch at Domaine Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits
Domaine Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits
The
Trapet family has deep roots in Burgundy and have lived in
Gevrey-Chambertin for six generations. They hold 36 acres of excellent
plots in well-known Grand and 1ier cru locations. Since Jean-Louis
Trapet took over the domain from his father Jean in 1992, wines have
been produced here that can rank among the best in Burgundy. Yields
have been drastically reduced - almost in half -, winemaking has been completely converted to biodynamic principles and fining and filtration
has been stopped entirely. This is how extraordinarily good and very
storable wines are created.
The wines are examples of purity, finesse and balance. Trapet is owner of over 7 1⁄2 acres in the Grand Cru vineyards Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin and almost 5 acres in the Premier Cru vineyards Petite-Chapelle and Clos Prieur.
We will enjoy a three course meal that is accompanied by 5 wines, going up the quality ladder from a simple Bourgogne red, village, 1er cru, and Grand Cru.
Domaine Louis Trapet - Berry Bros. & Rudd
Domaine Louis Trapet in Burgundy was actually established by Louis's son Arthur,
back in 1870, when he began acquiring vineyards and laying the
foundations for the present Domaine. The Trapets now have 12 hectares of
vines including 1.9 hectares of the hallowed Chambertin.
The Domaine is currently run by Jean-Louis Trapet, son of Jean and
cousin of the Rossignol Trapets. He is married to an Alsacienne, Andrée,
and together they maintain links with and make wine from Alsace, though
production remains firmly centered on Gevrey-Chambertin. Jean-Louis
moved towards biodynamic farming in the mid 1990s, working first with
guru Francois Bouchet and now with Pierre Masson. The domaine has been
certified by Biodivin since 1998 and Demeter from 2005.
Jean-Louis would rather talk about the philosophy of wine than the
detail of winemaking, but the broad brush outline is partial destemming,
a cool pre-fermentation maceration before a long fermentation, then the
descent by gravity of the wine to the barrel cellar, with 30 to 75% new
oak used according to the cuvée. He uses no sulphur at harvest or
during the vinification and maturation processes, just adding a small
dose at bottling.
The wines are succulent and rounded and make
an interesting contrast to the tighter, more precise style of
Jean-Louis’s cousins at Domaine Rossignol-Trapet. These are wines that
tend more towards elegance and finesse rather than power and extract -
the exception being Le Chambertin which displays concentrated fruit and
great intensity.
