The Story
Jean-Louis Trapet's biodynamic farming and light-extraction philosophy shine through in this 1er Cru from a parcel situated directly below the Grand Cru Chapelle-Chambertin. Calcareous clay soils over Jurassic limestone create a slightly spicier, more savory profile than Trapet's other cuvées, with chalky minerality threading through dark berry fruit. The 2021 vintage's cool temperatures preserve laser-like precision; beautifully refined tannins and taut acidity create an ample, fleshy wine that's both delicious now and capable of evolving for years.
