The 2019 Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru in magnum (1.5L) is a majestic and profoundly expressive Pinot Noir, capturing the grandeur and complexity of one of Burgundy’s most legendary vineyards. Domaine Trapet, a historic estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, is renowned for its biodynamic viticulture and meticulous winemaking, ensuring that each bottle reflects the unique terroir of Chambertin. This vineyard, often referred to as the “King of Grand Crus,” is celebrated for producing wines of remarkable power, elegance, and longevity.

In the glass, the wine displays a deep garnet hue with luminous highlights. The nose is intricate and captivating, offering aromas of ripe black cherries, dark plums, and blackberries, interwoven with floral notes of violets and subtle nuances of truffle, forest floor, and graphite. Hints of warm spices, such as clove and anise, and a touch of fine oak add depth and sophistication. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, with firm yet velvety tannins and vibrant acidity providing balance and energy. The flavors are layered and harmonious, featuring a core of dark fruits complemented by savory herbs, earthy undertones, and a pronounced mineral streak. The finish is long, refined, and elegant, leaving a lasting impression of power and finesse.

The 2019 vintage, characterized by warm and even ripening conditions, imparts ripe, concentrated fruit to this wine while preserving the freshness and balance that define the best of Chambertin. The magnum format enhances its aging potential, allowing the wine to evolve gracefully over the next 20–25 years, unveiling even greater complexity and nuance.

This Chambertin Grand Cru pairs beautifully with roasted game, lamb shank, or beef Wellington, and it is a superb choice for truffle-infused dishes or aged cheeses. Domaine Trapet Père et Fils’ Chambertin is a benchmark expression of this legendary Grand Cru, offering a seamless blend of intensity, elegance, and terroir-driven character—a must-have for collectors and Burgundy connoisseurs.

Left Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils

Domaine Trapet is not exactly a new name in Burgundy. They've been growing grapes in Gevrey-Chambertin since the 1800s, and have amazing parcels in all the best vineyards, up to and including Le Chambertin. Back in the day, they sold their best grapes to the likes of Domaine Drouhin and Maison Leroy.

But since the 1960s, they've been bottling their own wines. The style has fluctuated a bit, as styles have varied with the generations. Today the domaine is run by Jean-Louis Trapet, whose style can best be summarized as a laser-like focus on making delicious Pinot Noir.

Here are the technicalities of that: light extraction (a touch of bâtonnage or punching down at the beginning of fermentation, but just remontage—pumping over—after that), very little new oak, and whole-cluster when the grapes are ideally healthy (which is quite often, as the farming is biodynamic).

This sounds like what many of Burgundy's best are doing today. But in one area Trapet departs: while "reductive" wine-making is all the rage (limiting the wine's exposure to oxygen), Trapet likes to make his wines open and accessible from release, including by using as little sulfur as possible in the process. That's how he makes his Pinot Noir so delicious!

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 96
"This is aromatically similar to the Latricières though it's even cooler with a bit more earth, floral and spice influences. There is outstanding power to the bigger, richer and more concentrated big-bodied flavors that also brim with minerality before terminating in a balanced, overtly austere and hugely long finale. This too is a classically styled Chambertin and the quality is superb though this is very much a buy it and forget you own it wine. In a word, marvelous." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru has an intense bouquet of blackberry, briar and raspberry, interlaced with wilted rose petals and light ferrous aromas. The palate is very supple and voluminous, fleshy and generous, but maybe not quite as pixelated as the Latricières-Chambertin. It fans out wonderfully, though, and the lightly spiced finish just misses the intellect of Latricières. This represents a very serious Chambertin, and I would not be surprised if it lands at the top of my banded score" -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 98
"Trapet's 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru is a profound wine in the making, and it can keeps company with vintage's finest. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cherries and cassis, complemented by notions of raw cocoa, blood orange, smoked meats, rich soil tones and spices, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a weightless, elegant profile despite its prodigious concentration, its structuring tannins entirely concealed in an ample core of lively, vibrant fruit. My tasting with Jean-Louis Trapet was one of my most exciting visits during three months traversing the Côte d'Or, and I couldn't be more excited about the ongoing renaissance at this Gevrey-Chambertin benchmark. Energized by the increasing involvement of his sons, a viticultural revolution is underway: fully seven hectares of the domaine's holdings have been converted both to échalas and to higher trellising stakes and wires, depending on the steepness of the slope. And given the extent of Trapet's holdings in prime climats, that means that the walk from Morey-Saint-Denis to Gevrey-Chambertin suddenly looks rather different. In the cuviere, winemaking continues to be very classical, with important percentages of whole clusters. And Trapet tells me that 2019 will be the last year of his premier cru blend "Capita," as his sons insisted on fermenting its components separately." -Robert Parker
