Their Marsannay Blanc is sourced from two small parcels of Chardonnay covering 80 ares. This wine reflects the Trapet family`s passion for terroir expression and their commitment to biodynamic farming. Combining tradition with modern techniques, they create wines that honor Marsannay`s unique heritage while showcasing its potential for exceptional white wines.
“From the first buds to the harvest, the grapes are accompanied but never forced.” - Jean-Louis Trapet “Man or the winemaker comes and goes. What remains is the soil! We just pass by!” - Andrée Trapet

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the "Big Daddy" of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world. It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.
Burgundy is Chardonnay`s spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvelous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.
Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
