Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée „1859“ 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée „1859“ 2022 1500ml Magnum by Trapet Père & Fils

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, medium ruby red with a cherry-red core. The magnum bottle already promises visually a slow, favourable development. Brilliant clarity, which reflects the biodynamic working methods in the vineyard.

Nose

Classic Gevrey-Chambertin with red cherries, raspberries and a hint of wild strawberries. Beneath these, subtle notes of violets, damp earth and a delicate clove spice emerge. The 2022 vintage brings a remarkable freshness and precision – nothing overloaded, but pure Burgundian elegance.

Palate

Silky yet structured. The moderate alcohol content of 12.5% Vol. underscores the finesse of this wine. Red fruits dominate, accompanied by fine minerality and perfectly integrated, fine-grained tannins. The acidity is lively, yet never intrusive – a sign of the vintage’s extraordinary balance. Medium body with impressive depth.

Finish

Long and precise with lingering fruit aromas and a hint of graphite and undergrowth. The biodynamic vinification reveals itself in the purity and transparency of the finish.

Terroir & Origin

The Cuvée „1859“ unites various parcels from Gevrey-Chambertin and represents the signature of the Trapet house. The estate has been managed consistently biodynamically for years – a philosophy that respects the soil and its natural rhythms.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Pinot Noir from biodynamic cultivation. Jean-Louis and Andrée Trapet follow the principle of accompanying the grapes, not forcing them. Spontaneous fermentation, gentle maturation in wooden casks – everything aimed at letting the terroir speak.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Pairs excellently with Coq au Vin, duck breast with cherry sauce, aged Comté or veal medallions with mushrooms. Also an excellent choice with game dishes such as venison loin.

Special Features

The magnum bottle (1500ml) is ideal for special occasions and guarantees optimal maturation over the years. The name „1859“ refers to the founding year of the Domaine – a wine that combines tradition and modernity.
