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.
Highly complex, evolving nose, initially revealing raspberry, cherry, and strawberry jam, then unfolding with layers of forest floor, oak, spice, leather, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is elegant, fleshy, lively, and fresh, with a long, delicious finish.
A beautiful, precise nose with well-defined notes of blackcurrant, cherry, red plum, peony… The palate is concentrated and intense, round, with a long and silky finish. A Bourgogne showing its best, even more so in this memorable 2023 vintage.
Highly complex, powerful and intense nose with notes of strawberry, crushed raspberry, which evolves towards notes of undergrowth, truffle, chalk, soft spices, a hint of mint. Precise juice with melted tannins, endless length. An exceptional bottle.
Fifth vintage of this 1859 cuvée, renewed since 2019, continuing to honor the Trapet family's 150 years of cultivation. Notes of red fruits, spice, and violet… Rounded, juicy palate with fine tannins and a beautiful, lingering finish. Stunning — pure Trapet style.
Undoubtedly one of the most complex bottles from the estate, a complete juice, voluminous, solid and eminently racy.
A classy Bourgogne with all the makings of a great wine, with notes of citrus, baked apple, butter, orange peel, hazelnut... Palate: beautiful volume without any heaviness, a digestible juice balanced with a mineral structure.
A profound nose with mineral notes, aromas of blackcurrant and blackberries, and hints of smoke. Delicate and vibrant, with melted tannins, this is an eminently drinkable wine. 1441 is the year of the consecration of the Saint Erhard chapel, built on the ramparts of the town of Riquewihr.
Lichee, pineapple, melon, honey, elderflower... Residual sugars are perfectly integrated to give us a velvety, soft, round mouthfeel, followed by undeniable aromatic length.
Complex nose with notes of white fruits, minerals and the typical petrol notes of the grape variety, in the best sense of the word! Great purity and tension, beautiful amplitude, smoky finish.
The nose opens with a basket of fresh red fruits: cherry, strawberry, redcurrant, before evolving into notes of undergrowth, pepper and a hint of nutmeg. The palate is powerful, enveloping and very charming, although still in the fervor of its youth. Beautiful aging potential.
A subtle and complex wine, superb from start to finish. The nose boasts exotic buttery notes, white peach, hazelnut, with hints of smoke. The palate is smooth and rounded, with a clean finish, lifted by a fine acidity.
A style identifiable by its softness, its roundness, its red fruits, with those little menthol touches, its gentle attack and its length on the palate. Fresh, juicy, with clear notes of strawberry, blueberry and rose. Impeccable.
A nose of red fruits, with notes of soft spices, of chalk and pink peppercorns... Splendid texture, all finesse and freshness, with a long, silky finish. An excellent introduction to the brilliance of the Trapets... A magnificent bottle!
Third edition of this cuvée, and since it's Trapet it's almost bound to be a favourite... Very fine, elegant sparkling wine driven by aromas of white fruits, flowers and delicate citrus notes. The palate brings subtle buttery touches alongside beautiful tension, with a long, creamy finish.
