Wine for sale: Trapet Alsace

Trapet Alsace

The Alsace side of Domaine Trapet, run by Andrée Trapet. This domain is a little more modest than its sibling, but is equally brimming with talent and interest.

In 2002, Andrée decided to take up her parents' work, a domain located in Riquewihr. As soon as she arrived, she decided to convert the domain to biodynamics, following in the footsteps of the property she knows so well. Helped by her mother, she has mastered the running of her 12 hectares, always working closer to the plants and the terroir. The domain has some highly reputed parcels, including grands crus (Sonnenglanz, Schononberg, Sporen and Schlossberg), and lieux-dits (Beblenheim, Zellenberg, Hunawihr).
This is where her two sons are currently learning all there is to know about making wine, with their grandmother to guide them of course! They are showing an increasing potential for innovation, so there are plenty of new ideas coming together in Riquewihr. The vinifications are carried out with utmost care, certain maturations lasting up to two years before bottling, meaning that these cuvées have great aging potential. The elegance and finesse of the resulting wine is brilliant, with a style setting them on their own course for success.
