Dry, dense and powerful on the palate, with a velvety grip, ripe dark fruit and vibrant acidity; a long, linear finish.
Character
Powerful yet controlled – it brings all the energy of Pommard without becoming broad; a wine with ageing potential.
Pairing
Herb-crusted rack of lamb, duck breast with cherry jus, mushroom ragout with polenta.
Notes
Vinified by brothers Pierre and Louis Trapet, scions of old Burgundian nobility; vines from biodynamically farmed plots, hand-harvested, aged without fining and bottled unfiltered.
Tasting note
Character
A Pommard that carries the renowned power of its appellation without ever becoming broad: dark berry fruit, a grip of fine-grained tannin, plus the cool freshness that defines the young 2023 vintage. Pinot Noir in an upright, taut mood – more precision than muscle. A wine with backbone that will benefit from a little patience in the bottle.
Terroir & Origin
Pommard ranks among the most impressive red wine vineyard sites of the Côte de Beaune – clay-rich soils traditionally lend depth and firmness to the Pinot Noir here. The Les Vaumuriens parcel belongs to a small patchwork of vines around Auxey-Duresses that came into the family through Louis Trapet’s wife Justine; her parents’ house lies at the foot of the Montagne du Châtelet, nestled between Saint-Romain and Meursault. A corner of Burgundy that connoisseurs have long regarded as the region’s underrated heartland.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Pure Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) – the grape variety Pierre and Louis Trapet grew up with: their father runs the estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, and the family has been making wine in Burgundy since 1915. For their joint project – known in the scene as “Trapet²” – the brothers vinify in the old Relais de Poste in Gevrey. In the vineyard, the plough replaces herbicides, alongside biodynamic farming and hand harvesting; in the cellar, the wines mature in wooden casks, demi-muids and concrete eggs, and are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Craftsmanship without showy effects, with a clear focus on origin.
Food Pairings
The juicy, powerful nature of this Pommard calls for substance on the plate: duck breast with a herb jus, braised leg of lamb or a classic Bœuf Bourguignon strike at the very core of the wine. It also shows itself at its best alongside saddle of venison with mushrooms or a ripe Époisses. Generously decanted, it already reveals a great deal – those who leave it for three to five years will be rewarded with silky depth.
