Reviews:
- Burghound: There is still a discernible touch of wood setting off the spicy, very ripe, intensely earthy aromas of ripe plum aromas that are dispalying relatively limited secondary influence. There is excellent size and weight to the muscular, big-bodied and rich flavors that deliver excellent length on the complex finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth. For my taste this has largely arrived at its peak though it should be capable of holding for several more decades.
- Wine Advocate: Blackberries, black cherries, brambleberries, and roses can be detected in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Chambertin. Medium to full-bodied, it unleashes flavors reminiscent of tar-laced black fruits, sea salt, and notes of licorice.
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 Andre Trapet inherited her parents' vineyards in Alsace in 2002. Her husband Jean-Louis has run Domaine Trapet Pre 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 Cte de Nuits. There are 16 hectares (39.5 acres) of estate vineyards, led by parcels in Le Chambertin (a very substantial 1.9ha), Latricires-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin. The deep, concentrated wines from these grand cru sites are the flagship bottlings, but the Trapet Pre 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.
