Domaine Trapet

History of the estate

<b>Domaine Jean Trapet, a tribute to slowness</b>
A mindful producer, sensitive to biodynamics, Jean-Louis Trapet has elevated the family estate. While a recent succession saw some of the vineyards go to the Rossignol cousins, Jean-Louis Trapet still cultivates three Grand Crus and two Premier Crus. As for the style of his wines, they take Burgundy to the pinnacle. A committed believer in biodynamics, he and his Alsatian wife Andrée run a vineyard they love to describe as alive. The couple's sense of hospitality invites passing and notable guests to their table. Here, the wine speaks to express its nobility.

<b>From Burgundy and Alsace</b>
The birth of the estate dates back to the early 1920s. So it was founded by Jean Trapet in 1919. Since then, it has consistently elevated the wines and crus of Burgundy. With fifteen hectares, this estate mainly cultivates pinot noir and one and a half hectares of chardonnay. Among these plots, we find the Grand Crus Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin, and Gevrey Chambertin.

<b>Biodynamics as a principle</b>
Biodynamics has been practiced at the estate since the mid-90s, a period when Jean-Louis Trapet married Andrée Gayer, the Alsatian heiress of the Riquewhir estate in Alsace. Among the most prestigious wines of the region, the Gevrey range precedes the brilliance of Chambertin. These high-flying pinot noirs provide a magnified image of the crus and the appellation.
