Domaine Trapet's 2018 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is a magical wine in the making and is considered a more elegant, structurally refined version of Trapet's 1999 Latricières. Aromas of cherries, cassis, dark chocolate, pine trees and rose petals rise from the glass. The wine is full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a sharp backbone of acidity, lively acidity and great concentration, ending with a long finish.

The term “Latricières” was used to describe land that is unsuitable for crops and offers little to no value, and yet this Grand Cru vineyard is known for producing some of the most iconic Pinot Noir red wines in the world. In fact, as far back as the Middle Ages, locals called the wines from here “petite merveille” or “little wonders.”

The Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is located at the western end of the “Route des Grands Crus”—a country road that runs parallel to the D974 (formerly known as RN74) in the Gevrey-Chambertin region of the Côte de Nuits. The vines are planted on rocky marl soils, the same as those of the famous neighbors Chambertin and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. A producer that sets a particularly high standard for this area is cult winery Domaine Leroy and Domaine Trapet.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2018 Latricières-Chambertin van Domaine Trapet toont intense aroma’s van kersen en cassis met nuances van donkere chocolade, dennen en rozenblaadjes, en voelt vol, fluweelzacht en gelaagd aan dankzij levendige zuren en een strakke, geconcentreerde structuur die uitloopt in een lange afdronk. Door die geur- en smaakconcentratie en de frisse ruggengraat vult de wijn rijk en umami-achtig vlees perfect aan, van rosé gebraden entrecote of langzaam gegaarde sukadelappen tot rozemarijnlamsbout en gegrild hertenbiefstuk, en werkt hij ook uitstekend naast gedroogde charcuterie en gerijpte kazen zoals comté of een volle Brie; gerechten met een bessen- of wildsaus versterken bovendien de fruitige tonen en maken de combinatie extra harmonieus.

Domaine Trapet was founded in 1870 and is now six generations strong. This family business owns more than 18.5 hectares of vineyards, mainly located in the prestigious regions of Gevrey-Chambertin and Marsannay. Recently, another 2.10 hectares of vineyards in the Côte de Beaune have been added. The estate has four hectares on three of the nine Grand Cru plots in Gevrey-Chambertin: Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin.

Today, the estate is run by Jean-Louis Trapet, a winemaker who speaks almost philosophically about his wines. At the end of the 90s, Jean-Louis decided to experiment with biodynamic viticulture, a choice that has influenced the entire estate since 1997. This approach eventually resulted in certifications from Biodyvin and Demeter. For Jean-Louis Trapet, biodynamic viticulture is both a response to current climate change and a way of living his philosophy: to "accompany, but never force" the grapes.

Trapet's wines are known for their accessibility and distinct character. They are complex and sophisticated, with an admirably long finish. The balance between fruit, minerality, fresh acidity and soft tannins is unforgettable. Trapet succeeds in letting the terroir speak, with each wine telling its own story.
