Trapet Pere et Fils
About Trape Père et Fils
The Domaine was founded by Louis Trapet in 1870, who hailed from Southeastern France and chose to settle in Gevrey-Chambertin during the French Revolution. He gradually acquired prime vineyards in the appellation and by the 1920s, had become one of Burgundy’s most important vineyard owners. Fruit from their vineyards was regularly sold to top négociants such as Leroy, Drouhin and Liger-Belair and the Domaine only bottled their first wine with the 1959 vintage.
In 1990, the Domaine underwent a split, with Domaine Rossignol-Trapet managed by Nicolas and David Rossignol while the original Domaine became known as Domaine Trapet Père et Fils, currently managed by the fifth generation of the family, Jean-Louis Trapet.

Vinous (90-92)(the yield here was just 15 hectoliters per hectare, according to Jean-Louis Trapet): Good bright medium red. Deeper on the nose than the preceding village wines, offering aromas of plum, currant, roast coffee and cocoa. Graceful, fine-grained wine, offering very good depth, intriguing saline minerality and noteworthy precision. More floral than herbal. The persistent finish features a subtle sweetness and suave tannins that saturate the sides of the tongue. This will be Trapet's only premier cru bottling from the 2016 vintage. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin La Petite Chapelle 1er Cru, blended with 80% whole bunch, has a tightly-wound bouquet with crushed stone infusing the blackcurrant and raspberry scents, a nuanced Earl Grey scent percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, finely-chiselled tannins, very good weight with just a hint of menthol that enhances the finish. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos-Prieur 1er Cru, matured with 50% whole bunch, has a crisp, transparent bouquet featuring lively red cherries and raspberry fruit, touches of sous-bois and later more black currant notes. The medium-bodied palate offers supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Harmonious, with good structure/grip toward the broody finish. Needs 4–5 years in bottle, but it will be worth the wait. Superb. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos-Prieur 1er Cru offers more red fruit on the nose, a little ripe and fleshier compared to the La Petite Chapelle. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very good weight, though I find more nuance in Trapet's other cuvées, hence my more parsimonious score. |
