Tasting notes
This delicious Gevrey Chambertin is a blend of 4 parcels: Platieres, Murots, Croix des Champs, Creux Brouillard. The average age of the vines is 40 years. It is vinified only in tank, focusing on the natural freshness, crisp fruits, fine tannins and gentle expression of the Gevrey-Chambertin character. It shows a bright deep ruby color, aromas of violets, wild cherries and blackcurrant. On the palate are persistent red berries with fine grain tannins and beautiful balance.
Estate
Located in the heart of Gevrey Chambertin, Domaine Trapet Rochelandet is a relatively new Domaine run by Laurant Trapet Rochelandet. In 2006 he combined the vineyards of his father (Trapet) and his mother (Rochelandet) to create a new Domaine with 17 acres of vineyards spread across the top sites in the region. Laurant tends to an exceptional collection of vineyards which include 100+ year old vines, without the use of pesticides or additives. The yields here are very low, and everything is managed by hand, including the plowing of the fields. Domaine Trapet Rochelandet is a great example of boutique, small production Burgundy crafted in a very traditional and classic style.
