A blend of power, finesse and elegance like no other, with simply unbelievable body and length... A nose redolent of grapes, capturing the very spirit of Chambertin. The palate is suave and overall quite soft in the end.
Jean-Louis Trapet
Jean-Louis Trapet is part of a select circle of the 10 greatest vignerons of the Côte de Nuits. His family estate, founded by his great-grandfather in 1870, is composed of around 15 hectares of the most beautiful parcels around Gevrey. With his wife Andrée, the couple also runs an estate in Alsace, with 6 hectares near Riquewihr. Jean-Louis is a committed biodynamic winemaker, and is non-interventionist in the winery. His wines undergo long maturation, certain cuvées are vinified whole cluster and focused on fruit aromas. Other, more classic cuvées are made to best express the complexity of these legendary climats. A few words from Jean-Louis: “Wine is one of the most civilized things in existence. In my capacity as a wine grower, the path of gentleness and respect enables me to make my way towards the highest degree of expression of my soils.” The couple's two sons, Pierre and Louis, have followed in their parents' footsteps, and today produce some very fine juices under their own name, an estate to watch closely.
