Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée “1859” 2021 1500ml

Wine Description for Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée “1859” 2021 1500ml by Trapet Père & Fils

Colour & Appearance

A luminous, transparent garnet red with violet reflections at the rim.

Nose

Aristocratic and precise. The bouquet reveals cool notes of sour cherries, wild raspberries and dried rose petals, underpinned by a fine mineral smokiness and a hint of white pepper.

Palate

On the palate, the classic brilliance of the 2021 vintage shines through. With a slender 12.5% alcohol, the wine is dancing yet profound. Red currants and pomegranate meet a taut, yet fine-grained acidity. The tannins are of silky texture, perfectly woven into the structure and lend the wine an almost intellectual grip.

Finish

Long and focused, characterised by a cool minerality and a subtle salinity that makes you crave the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

Deeply rooted in the limestone marl of Gevrey-Chambertin. Jean-Louis Trapet’s biodynamic viticulture allows the soil to speak unfiltered – a wine that was not “made” but “accompanied”.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Pinot Noir. Gentle extraction and maturation in wood, with fruit brilliance and provenance always taking precedence over cellar influence.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Excellent with pheasant, calf’s sweetbread with morels or a classic Boeuf Bourguignon, one that does not overwhelm the wine’s elegance.

Special Features

The Cuvée “1859” celebrates the long history of the Domaine. In the magnum bottle, the wine presents itself even more youthful and promises extraordinary ageing potential with maximum freshness.
