Domaine Jean-Louis Trapet

Domaine Jean-Louis Trapet is a leading estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy. Run by the Trapet family for several generations, this estate is now renowned for its biodynamic practices and its commitment to environmentally responsible vineyard management, which gives its wines a unique purity and depth.

Jean-Louis Trapet took over the family estate in the 1990s and introduced biodynamic practices to best express the terroir of each plot. The estate comprises approximately 13 hectares, including several prestigious plots in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, with renowned Grand Cru vineyards (Chambertin, Chapelle, and Latricières) and Premier Cru vineyards.

The wines are appreciated for their elegance and precision.

Biodynamic practices enhance the expression of the terroir in each vintage, and the estate uses minimal intervention winemaking methods, with natural fermentations and aging in well-balanced oak barrels, without excessive oak influence. The harvest is done by hand, with meticulous selection of the grapes to retain only the very best. The resulting wines are remarkably authentic, capable of aging for many years, while retaining a freshness and finesse that reveal the unique character of each terroir.

Pierre and Louis, the children of Jean-Louis and Andrée, are also involved in the family's Alsatian estate in Riquewihr, which produces wines of great purity, including the Grand Cru wines Schoenenbourg, Schlossberg, Sonnenglanz, and Sporen, offering unbeatable value!
