Viticulture & Winemaking: Domaine Trapet Père et Fils, located in Gevrey-Chambertin, has been a key reference in Burgundy since its founding in the 19th century. This family estate produces wines of exceptional quality, renowned for their finesse and authenticity, precisely expressing the richness of the Côte de Nuits terroirs.
TRAPET
Jean-Louis Trapet, managing the Burgundy estate, and his wife Andrée Trapet, running their winery in Alsace, lead a dual biodynamic winemaking approach. Since the mid-1990s, the Domaine has embraced biodynamic farming, working first with Francois Bouchet and later with Pierre Masson. The Domaine has been certified organic (FR-BIO-01) since 1998, using no sulphur during harvest, vinification, or maturation—only adding a minimal dose at bottling.

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.
