The wine
An indisputable Burgundy reference, since it is reputed for its natural vinification, Domaine Jean-Louis Trapet presents a remarkable Côtes-de-Nuits-Villages. Indeed, to create it, the domain opted for the biodynamic growth of its Pinot Noir, harvesting by hand, and of course, natural fermentation. It is particularly enticing for its lively and crisp profile. We adore its fresh bouquet of tart, red fruits, flowers and gentle spices. In the same vein, the palate is equally fresh and silky. It’s impossible to resist such freshness and youth!
About the Producer Jean Trapet et fils
Jean-Louis Trapet is an articulate man, at peace in a world where "men are mere mortals". And since wine is all about sharing and transmission, his great-great-grandfather's legacy, founded in 1870, has been kept alive.
Today he takes care of 15 hectares of vineyard, among the best-located in Gevrey. He is merely the custodian of this treasure: three grands crus (Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin), two premiers crus (Petite Chapelle and Clos Prieur), Marsannay and Bourgogne.
Since 1995 the entire domain uses biodynamics: free of any harsh practices in the vineyard as well as in the cellars, which respects the natural balance of the wine. This approach is above all based on observation: to protect the vines while monitoring their growth and development. Maturating is a decisive stage at the Trapet domain: once the vinification is finished (with minimum intervention), the wines are taken down to the cellar and put in barrels to mature slowly over the winter months at their own speed.
