Weinbeschreibung für Gevrey-Chambertin “Les Corbeaux” 1er Cru 2021 von Trapet Père & Fils

Terroir & origin

“Les Corbeaux” zählt zu den bemerkenswerten Premier Cru Lagen von Gevrey-Chambertin, der nördlichsten Gemeinde der Côte de Nuits im Herzen des Burgunds. Der Name “Les Corbeaux” (Die Raben) verweist auf die historische Präsenz dieser Vögel in diesem speziellen Terroir. Die Lage grenzt unmittelbar an den legendären Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin und profitiert von ähnlichen geologischen Bedingungen mit kalkhaltigen Böden, die dem Pinot Noir seine charakteristische Tiefe verleihen.

The winery

Trapet Père & Fils is one of the most renowned producers in Gevrey-Chambertin with a family tradition dating back to the 19th century. Under the management of Jean-Louis Trapet, the estate has committed itself to biodynamic cultivation and is one of the pioneers of this cultivation method in Burgundy. The philosophy of the estate is to express the purest expression of the terroir in every wine.

Character

Der 2021er Jahrgang im Burgund stellte die Winzer vor besondere Herausforderungen mit Frühjahrsfrösten und einem kühlen, feuchten Sommer. Doch gerade in solchen Jahren zeigt sich die Meisterschaft eines Hauses wie Trapet. Der “Les Corbeaux” verkörpert die klassische Eleganz eines burgundischen Pinot Noir mit der für Gevrey-Chambertin typischen Struktur und Kraft.

The moderate alcohol level of 13% vol. and the low residual sweetness indicate a precise, terroir-influenced wine that emphasises the finesse of the vintage over opulent power. Trapet wines are characterised by their precision, purity and longevity - Characteristics that can also be expected in this Premier Cru.

Food pairing suggestions

This wine harmonises perfectly with classic Burgundian dishes such as coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon. It is also an elegant accompaniment to game, especially pheasant or partridge. The fine acidity structure also makes it the ideal partner for dishes with wild mushrooms or matured soft cheese from the region.

Drinking recommendation

Whilst this Premier Cru can already offer pleasure now, it will benefit considerably from a few years of bottle ageing. An optimal drinking window is likely to open between 2026 and 2035The longevity of Trapet wines can also justify longer storage.
