Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils, Gevrey-Chambertin "1859", 2023

The "1859" cuvée commemorates the year the Trapet family acquired their first vineyard parcel en Dérée on October 23, 1859—marking the foundation of this seventh-generation estate. From the en Dérée plot, this wine embodies what Gevrey-Chambertin can deliver: structure without heaviness, complexity without opulence. Made under biodynamic principles, it reflects Jean-Louis Trapet's pioneering work in sustainable viticulture. The 2023 vintage offers both power and elegance, showing Trapet's characteristic mineral precision and respect for terroir.
