2002 | Trapet | Chambertin (Magnum)

With the distinctly floral-inflected red berry fruit suffused nose that also exhibits hints of game, earth and underbrush. There is excellent energy to the well-delineated and mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess a sense of focused power on the ever-so-slightly acid-tinged finale.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Displaying an addition level of concentration and depth, the 2002 Chambertin is medium to dark ruby-colored and boasts a nose of herbal blackberries. Supple, pure, silky-textured, and medium to full-bodied, it is a fleshy, lush wine. Its flavor profile, composed of licorice, tar, cassis liqueur, and syrupy dark fruits, lingers in its long, suave finish.

• Vinous: Medium red with a touch of development at the rim. Wild, balsamic scents of redcurrant, smoke and olive tapenade. Fat, sweet, silky and plush but with lovely integrated acidity keeping the wine shapely and lively. Dominated by smoky minerality and underbrush today. Tannins are silky but very present. This is quite approachable but is still holding something in reserve. Jean-Louis Trapet was happy to see that this wine was gaining in flesh; he noted that it was austere, even a bit spiky, in the beginning.

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.
