Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée “1859” 2020

Jean-Louis Trapet, the man who runs one of Burgundy's most sought-after wineries, is still a true vigneron today. He is one who pursues his love of Pinot Noir with all his energy in the vineyard. Founded in 1870, Domaine Trapet today has twelve hectares, including some plots with partly ancient vines in the Grands Crus La Chapelle, Les Latricières and - since 1919 - in Le Chambertin. Le Chambertin is the undisputed flagship of the house and, in the best years, the perfect expression of the terroir or, as the British like to say, the sense of place. Jean-Louis Trapet and his wife Andrée turned to biodynamics in the mid-1990s. The many, always well-considered steps that went hand in hand with this have made the Domaine one of the leading wine estates in Bourgogne, but especially in Gevrey-Chambertin.
