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

Antonio Galloni

AG 94

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos-Prieur 1er Cru is very pure on the nose with black cherries and wild strawberry fruit, the 50% whole bunches deftly assimilated. Very tender aromatically. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry. It has a sweet core of black fruit but is not cloying, the acidity driving along with superb tension and poise towards the finish. A superb Clos Prieur." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 94

"One of Trapet's more structured premiers crus this year is the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Prieur, a medium to full-bodied, deep and textural wine redolent of plums, rose petals, orange zest and licorice. Built around a chassis of powdery tannin, it concludes with an expansive finish. The Trapet renaissance continues, and that's confirmed by a fine set of 2022s at this Gevrey-Chambertin reference point. As readers will remember, there have been a host of changes at this address in recent years: in 2020, fully seven hectares of the domaine's holdings were converted both to échalas and to higher trellising stakes and wires, depending on the steepness of the slope. Since then, changes have been rolled out in other parcels too. 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 cuverie, winemaking continues to be very classical, with important percentages of whole clusters. There are more smaller cuvées too, including a Gevrey-Chambertin 1859, from old vines in lieu-dit Champerrier, as well as separate bottlings for the domaine's premiers crus that were formerly blended together."

"The Clos Prieur 2022 opens with a bright, forward blackberry fruit aroma with a suggestion of violets and liquorice. The texture is silky but very firm, and the structure leads to a generous, lingering finish. The grapes are from two parcels that total 0.40-hectares, located just downslope from Mazis-Bas, that are now trained on stakes and farmed biodynamically to produce an excellent wine that marries supple generosity with the structure to assure longevity."
