Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2017

Jean-Louis Trapet in Gevrey-Chambertin and his wife Andrée Trapet in Riquewihr practically lead a vinous double life with two exemplary biodynamically managed wine estates, a red one in Burgundy and a white one in Alsace. Both share an almost philosophical approach to being a winemaker "From the first buds to the harvest, the grapes are accompanied but never forced." Andrées' credo is "The man or the winemaker comes and goes. What remains is the soil! We just pass by!" You can hear how connected she is to her Alsatian homeland. That's why she couldn't be dissuaded from continuing her parents' winery in Alsace. So, she is commuting between Gevrey and Riquewihr and is making sure that excellent wines are produced under the Trapet name in Alsace, too.
