Domaine Trapet has been at the forefront of biodynamic viticulture since the mid-1990s. The 2008 vintage reflects the estate`s dedication to minimal intervention, showcasing the purity and complexity of Pinot Noir from this exceptional terroir. Vines planted early in the 1930s contribute to the wine’s layered profile. After extended skin contact and aging on lees, the wine was bottled unfiltered, preserving its natural elegance and aging potential.
