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.

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96+)Mid crimson colour. Perhaps a fractional reduction, certainly a less expressive nose first up. Now the depth is building. Bright dense concentrated, backward, some drier tannins but just to provide long term structure. Good acid balance too. This keeps getting better. 96+ Maybe 97? |

Vinous (93-95)The 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru contains around 60% whole bunches. It has a divine bouquet, so pure and bewitching with pressed violet tinged black cherry and raspberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent black fruit. The 50% new oak is nicely integrated, firming up towards a foursquare and quite masculine finish that should see it age for up to 20 years. Great potential. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has a tight-lipped bouquet, reticent at the moment, though it reluctantly opens with blackberry, bilberry and light graphite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and a supremely well judged line of acidity that makes this Grand Cru feel so natural and refined. This is a rare case of a sensual Latricières in the making. Bon vin! |

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)The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin "Ostrea", which contains around 40% whole bunch fruit, has a broody but quite compelling bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit on the entry, a fine line of acidity and a classic, almost "nonchalant", self-effacing finish that is just a pure joy. |
