Description

Product description for Trapet Père & Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 (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: (96-98)

The king of the cellar is the 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru, a magical wine in the making that unwinds in the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries, rich soil tones, espresso roast, rose petals, licorice, oyster sauce and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it’s seamless and complete, with huge concentration, lively acids and rich, velvety tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Well-connected and well-heeled readers will derive immense pleasure in comparing the 2020 with the 2019 and 2018 renditions several decades from now.

Score: 95

The 2016 Chambertin Grand Cru is the deepest in colour among the four Chambertins. Brambly dark berry fruit, crushed stone, hints of jasmine tea and light briny scents make this very complex, even if it does lack some finesse. The palate is medium-bodied with thick, chewy tannins that form its firm arching structure. This is a bold and ambitious Chambertin, although it just needs more nuance and finesse to rank amongst the greats. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
