Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils, Chambertin Grand Cru, 2017 (1.5L)

The Domaine Trapet Père et Fils Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 is a remarkable expression of one of Burgundy’s most iconic vineyards, crafted by a family with a deep-rooted history in Gevrey-Chambertin. Domaine Trapet is celebrated for its biodynamic practices and commitment to preserving the authenticity of its terroirs, particularly in the revered Chambertin Grand Cru. The 2017 vintage, known for its elegance and balance, shines in this exceptional wine. This Chambertin opens with a complex bouquet of ripe red and black fruits—think cherry, blackcurrant, and wild raspberry—interwoven with notes of violets, forest floor, and subtle spice. As it evolves in the glass, hints of graphite, licorice, and earthy truffle add layers of depth. The palate is both powerful and refined, showcasing silky tannins, a vibrant core of acidity, and a mineral-driven precision that reflects the calcareous soils of the vineyard. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving a lasting impression of purity and grace.
