Product description for Trapet Père & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée “1859” 2020 (bio)

Jean-Louis Trapet in Gevrey-Chambertin and his wife Andrée Trapet in Riquewihr essentially lead a double wine life with two exemplary biodynamically managed vineyards, a red one in Burgundy and a white one in Alsace. Both share an almost philosophical attitude to winemaking: “From the first buds to the harvest, the grapes are accompanied, but never forced.” Andrée’s credo is: “People or winemakers come and go. What remains is the soil! We are just passing by!” This shows how closely she is connected to her Alsatian homeland. That’s why she couldn’t be dissuaded from continuing to run her parents’ vineyard in Alsace. She commutes between Gevrey and Riquewihr and ensures that excellent wines are also produced in Alsace under the name Trapet.

Vinous

Score: 93

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée 1859 has a well-defined bouquet: vivid dark berry fruit laced with orange pith and hints of blue fruit. It’s vivacious. The palate is medium-bodied, with fleshy, ripe tannins counterbalanced by a keen line of acidity. A sweet core of fruit errs towards Fixin rather than Gevrey, with a rounded, sensual, spicy finish that lingers in the mouth. It’s absolutely delicious and vindicating my score from barrel. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. _x000D_
