About Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils
Domaine Louis Trapet in Burgundy was actually established by Louis's son Arthur, back in 1870, when he began acquiring vineyards and laying the foundations for the present Domaine. Domaine Trapet is an 18-hectare estate with impressive vineyard holdings in and around Gevrey-Chambertin; notably five Premier Cru sites, and three of the most sought-after Grand Crus: Chapelle-Chambertin, Latrici res-Chambertin, and the mighty Le Chambertin. The Domaine is currently run by Jean-Louis Trapet, son of Jean and cousin of the Rossignol Trapets. He is married to an Alsacienne, Andr e, and together they maintain links with and make wine from Alsace, though production remains firmly centered on Gevrey-Chambertin. Jean-Louis moved towards biodynamic farming in the mid-1990s, working first with guru Francois Bouchet and now with Pierre Masson. Jean-Louis would rather talk about the philosophy of wine than the detail of winemaking, but the broad-brush outline is partial destemming, a cool pre-fermentation maceration before a long fermentation, then the descent by gravity of the wine to the barrel cellar, with 30 to 75% new oak used according to the cuv e. He uses no sulphur at harvest or during the vinification and maturation processes, just adding a small dose at bottling. The wines are succulent and rounded and make an interesting contrast to the tighter, more precise style of Jean-Louis s cousins at Domaine Rossignol-Trapet. These are wines that tend more towards elegance and finesse rather than power and extract - the exception being Le Chambertin which displays concentrated fruit and great intensity.
