Tasting Notes

Derived from old vines in the commune of Brochon, Trapet's 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea offers up aromas of cherries, raw cocoa and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, it's deeper and more introverted—and more of a long-haul prospect—than the domaine's immensely charming regular Gevrey, with a layered core and a long, mineral finish.

Domaine Trapet Père et Fils is a family-owned producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of Burgundy's most prestigious communes. The domaine focuses exclusively on still red wines made from Pinot Noir, the signature variety of the region. Their vineyard holdings are concentrated in Gevrey-Chambertin and surrounding appellations, reflecting a deep commitment to a single terroir.

Gevrey-Chambertin sits in the Côte de Nuits, the northern section of Burgundy's Côte d'Or, where cooler conditions and limestone-rich soils produce Pinot Noirs with structure, complexity, and aging potential. Wines from this appellation typically show dark fruit characteristics alongside mineral notes and firm tannins. The village has a long history of quality winemaking and is home to several grand cru vineyard sites.

The domaine's current range includes wines from the village appellation itself, including bottlings from specific vineyard parcels. Their approach emphasizes the expression of individual vineyard characteristics within the broader Gevrey-Chambertin framework, a traditional method for quality-focused Burgundy producers.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Gevrey-Chambertin is a village appellation in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, located in northeastern France. The commune encompasses both village-level wines and Premier Cru designations, which represent specific vineyard sites within the appellation. The village gained its hyphenated name in the 19th century by adding "Chambertin" — one of its most prestigious vineyard parcels — to its original name of Gevrey.

The appellation's vineyards sit on east-facing slopes with a limestone-rich substrate typical of the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin produces exclusively Pinot Noir under Burgundian regulations, with winemaking focused on expressing the subtle variations between individual vineyard sites rather than blending across large areas. The region's continental climate, with morning sun exposure and afternoon protection, creates conditions suited to Pinot Noir's ripening requirements.

Gevrey-Chambertin wines are characterized by black cherry and dark red fruit aromatics, often with earthy undertones and spice notes that develop with bottle age. The wines typically display moderate to firm tannin structure and acidity that supports aging potential. Premier Cru bottlings from the appellation show greater complexity and concentration than village-level examples, with individual vineyard expressions influenced by subtle variations in slope exposure and soil composition.
