Description

Product description for Trapet Père & Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2008 (bio)

Jean-Louis Trapet, the man who runs one of Burgundy’s most sought-after wineries, remains a true vigneron to this day. He is someone who puts his passion for Pinot Noir into the vineyard with all his energy. Founded in 1870, Domaine Trapet today owns twelve hectares, including several plots of partly ancient vines in the Grands Crus La Chapelle, Les Latricières, and – since 1919 – Le Chambertin. Le Chambertin is the house’s undisputed flagship and, in its prime, the perfect expression of the terroir, or better – as the British like to say – the sense of place. Jean-Louis Trapet and his wife Andrée turned to biodynamic farming in the mid-1990s. The many, always carefully considered steps that went with this have transformed the domaine into one of the leading wineries in Burgundy, especially in Gevrey-Chambertin.

Wine Advocate

Score: 94

The 2008 Chambertin is dazzling. It is an explosive wine with tons of inner reserve just waiting to blossom. The wine’s unrestrained power is impossible to miss in the sheer intensity and depth of the fruit. The long, eternal finish is a hint of what is to come for those who have the discipline to bury bottles in a dark corner of the cellar. It is impressive juice. Anticipated maturity: 2023-2048.

The 2008 Chambertin Grand Cru, which was picked from 26 September and would have contained around 20% whole bunch, has a comparatively straightforward bouquet compared to the 2020s. Wild strawberry and raspberry aromas, pastille-like with peppermint aromas emerging reluctantly with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, a little rigid in style, maybe just missing a little flesh in the middle and attenuating on the finish.
