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 (96-98)The 2019 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, which contains around 60% whole bunch, has a well-defined bouquet of ebullient dark berry fruit laced with light woodland and earthy scents. So much vigor and coiled-up energy! The palate is medium-bodied with wonderful balance, supple tannins, perfectly judged acidity and a crescendo of flavors toward the splendid, mineral-driven finish. The cooler microclimate really benefited this cuvée in 2019, and it is one of the Trapet’s finest contributions to the vintage. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2020 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru, which was picked around 7 September, has a vibrant nose with a mixture of red and black fruit, crushed stone (basalt?) and faint liquorice scents in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, cohesive and with great depth. There is just a touch of oak to be subsumed on the finish, so give this 4-6 years in bottle. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-98)5 Star Wine. Louis considers that Latricières-Chambertin is typically three degrees cooler than neighbouring Combottes. 40% whole bunch vinification. Glowing purple. A touch of reduction on the nose but a vibrant luxurious fruit nonetheless. There is a gorgeous coating of a deep dark velvet fruit with the structure behind perfectly poised, refined tannins and clean acidity. Very long. A gorgeous wine in the making. Louis feels that 2020 lost the plot of Latricières – but not at all 2021. |

Vinous (87-88)(just half of a normal crop in 2016): Medium red. Sauvage aromas of dark raspberry, leather and game. Tightly wound but with a touch of sweetness to its flavors of raspberry, leather and licorice. Finishes with dusty tannins and a repeating leathery nuance but also good raspberry and licorice intensity. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Capita debuted in 2003 and contains 100% whole bunch fruit. It has a tightly wound, quite floral bouquet with more red fruit than the Ostrea, hints of raspberry preserve and wild strawberry joining the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, taut and linear, a dash of white pepper cropping up towards the tightly wound finish that suggests cellaring for up to five years will be in order. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Capita" is a cuvée that debuted in 2003. This year it comprises 100% whole cluster. The parcels are located in Les Combottes, Ergot (next to La Petite-Chapelle) and Corbeaux. The open, generous bouquet of brambly red fruit is earthier in style than other cuvées, and the tangible stem addition lends mulch-like/leafy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a silky texture and a pixelated, harmonious raspberry preserve and black currant finish. This is simply another seductive and beautifully crafted Gevrey-Chambertin from Jean-Louis Trapet. |

Wine Advocate (93-95)The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Capita is the usual blend of fruit from the premiers crus En Ergot, Corbeaux and Combottes, supplemented by a visual selection of small-berried clusters from Petite Chapelle and Clos Prieur, though Trapet notes that this may be the cuvée's swan song, as his sons are keen to vinify these parcels separately. Wafting from the glass with scents of cassis, dark berries, peonies, raw cocoa and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with terrific concentration, lively acids and an elegantly complete profile. Concentrated but beautifully refined, it's a fabulous wine in the making. |

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. |

Wine Advocate (90-92)The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea" has a more complex bouquet than the regular Gevrey Village cru, leaning a little more to the red side of the fruit spectrum than the black, with chalk and limestone scents emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, a fresh line of acidity, quite pure in the mouth with a silky smooth finish that lingers. I love the mineralité here. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea" comprises around 70% whole cluster this year and comes from parcels around the village of Brochon. This has an elegant bouquet of gorgeous wild strawberry and raspberry preserve aromas, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and well-judged acidity, and so juicy that it is nigh impossible to detect the stem addition. This might well constitute the best "Ostrea" I have tasted from Trapet. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)(5-Star wine) Still in barrel, unracked. Rich deep purple with a heady ripe raspberry fruit. But it is fresh, clean, mineral and intense on the palate with a lovely supple fruit backed by clean energy. Darker fruit, but significantly more weight. In fact, this is astonishingly concentrated at the back of the palate. There are plenty of tannins here, but easily enough fruit. |

Vinous (92)The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea comes from vines that have now been rewired higher according to Jean-Louis Trapet. It has a more mineral-driven, reserved bouquet compared to the Gevrey-Village, fragrant and beautifully defined, the 40% whole bunch lending freshness. The palate is fresh and vibrant with gentle grip, good weight, taut and fresh with a saline, Morey-like finish. Classy, for Burgundy-lovers who like their Pinot a bit cerebral. |
