TRAPET BOURGOGNE PINOT NOIR 2022
Country: France, Burgundy
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
Vinification & Ageing: Pinot Noir is grown biodynamically on clay-limestone soils near Gevrey-Chambertin. Harvesting is done by hand, with a second sorting before de-stemming (depending on the vintage). Cold maceration for 5–7 days enhances depth and aromatics, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open-top vats. The wine undergoes gentle extraction during a long cuvaison and is aged 12–18 months in barrels, with proportions of new oak varying by wine.
Tasting Notes: Expressive notes of blackcurrant, cherry, red plum, and peony. Subtle undertones of smoke and loamy soil. Concentrated and intense, with a round, silky texture. Medium to full-bodied with lively acidity and a long, charming finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, game, and hard, mature cheeses.
Domaine Trapet

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy`s Côte d`Or.
Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climates of the Côte d`Or.
Because of the thinness of the skins, Pinot Noir wines are lighter in colour, body and tannins. However the best wines have grip, complexity and an intensity of fruit seldom found in wine from other grapes. Young Pinot Noir can smell almost sweet, redolent with freshly crushed raspberries, cherries and redcurrants. When mature, the best wines develop a sensuous, silky mouth feel with the fruit flavours deepening and gamey "sous-bois" nuances emerging.
The best examples are still found in Burgundy, although Pinot Noir`s key role in Champagne should not be forgotten. It is grown throughout the world with notable success in the Carneros and Russian River Valley districts of California, and the Martinborough and Central Otago regions of New Zealand.
