The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine An idealistic and sensitive winemaker, Jean-Louis Trapet is a virtuoso at work on his family estate, which he has raised to the pinnacle of modern Burgundy. Attentive and demanding, a firm believer in biodynamic viticulture, his wines express the most infinite nuances of his terroir, with tannins of rare elegance and a level of complexity and accomplishment rarely attained.

Few estates can claim such grace, especially as it extends across the entire range. From the Premier Marche to the Grand Cru de Chambertin, everything here exudes intelligence and the most exact formulation. With a never-sparing emotion, the sole repository of the truth of great wines.
Wine With a majority of whole-cluster fermentation, the 2019 Red Chambertin Grand Cru is a wine built for patience, promising a slow, rewarding evolution from this sun-drenched vintage. While its future potential is undeniable, it already captivates with bold, precise flavours of fresh fruit, spice, and cocoa, carried by a concentrated yet finely textured body. This Chambertin pushes every boundary, combining the radiant purity of Chapelle with the vibrant energy of Latricières. Both harmonious and profoundly rooted in its terroir, it impresses with its captivating individuality. The most powerful and profound of Gevrey's crus, it stands at the pinnacle of its art, effortlessly showcasing noble aromas and exceptional palate volume. Available in magnum for even greater pleasure, it has received stellar accolades: 100/100 RVF, 96–98/100 Parker, and 98/100 Bettane+Desseauve. A masterpiece for true connoisseurs.
