Jean-Louis Trapet has the manner of serene men. Of those who know that "men pass away and the earth remains". And because wine is all about sharing and transmission, the legacy of his great-great-grandfather Louis, who founded the estate in 1870, has remained alive.
Today, it is he who watches over the 15 hectares of vines, among the best located in Gevrey, and who preserves this treasure of which he is only the custodian: three grands crus (Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin), two premier crus (Petite Chapelle and Clos Prieur), and also plots in Marsannay and classified in the Burgundy appellation.
Since 1995, the entire estate has been managed biodynamically: free from any violent action in the vines and in the cellar, respectful of balance, this approach is based above all on observation. Support the vine to make it grow while protecting it. Aging marks a decisive stage at Trapet: once the vinification is completed (the least interventionist possible), the wines are taken down to the cellar and barreled to evolve slowly, at their own pace, throughout the winter.
An area to absolutely know for any lover of Burgundy wines, and especially Pinot Noirs from the Côte de Nuits.
