1999 | Domaine Trapet | Latricieres Chambertin

Bright, deep red. Musky aromas of red fruits, coffee and earth. Sweet and gamey in the mouth, with an almost roasted ripeness rare for this cuvee at Trapet. Shows some exotic wood notes on the firm finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Trapet's 1999 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is showing superbly, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of smoky dark berries, baking chocolate, black truffles and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with fine concentration, lively acids and a long, precise finish. This Latricières is a real success.

• John Gilman: The 1999 Latricières-Chambertin from Jean-Louis Trapet is outstanding and quite a bit younger in profile than the completely à point 2000 vintage. The superb nose is still fairly primary, but pure and sappy, jumping from the glass in a blend of cassis, dark berries, Cuban cigar, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, a distinct touch of graphite and a fairly generous serving of toasty oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and plush at the core, with lovely density and soil signature, ripe, seamless tannins, impeccable balance and a long, nascently complex and potentially opulent finish. In due course, this will probably catch and surpass the lovely 2000 Latricières, but for drinking over the next decade, I have to give a slight nod to the 2000 vintage chez Trapet for their Latricières.

Producer Information

Domaine Trapet is a wine company comprised of two estates, one in Alsace, the other in Burgundy. The company in its current dual-region configuration formed when Andrée Trapet inherited her parents' vineyards in Alsace in 2002. Her husband Jean-Louis has run Domaine Trapet Père et Fils in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1990, when he took over from his father Jean. The latter property is one of the great historic estates of the Côte de Nuits. There are 16 hectares (39.5 acres) of estate vineyards, led by parcels in Le Chambertin (a very substantial 1.9ha), Latricières-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin. The deep, concentrated wines from these grand cru sites are the flagship bottlings, but the Trapet Père et Fils portfolio also includes fine Pinot Noir from three premier cru and two village-level vineyards, as well as highly rated red and white Marsannay and Bourgogne Rouge and Blanc. The portfolio of Domaine Trapet-Alsace includes bottlings from five grand crus: Schoenenbourg, Schlossberg, Sporen, Sonnenglanz and the recently added Mambourg. Village wines (Riesling and Gewurztraminer) come from Riquewihr and Beblenheim. A multivarietal Alsace Blanc, A Minima, is the counterpart of a Bourgogne Passetoutgrains Gamay-Pinot Noir red.
