Domaine Trapet is one of the great historic estates of the Côte de Nuits. The estate comprises approximately 16 hectares of vineyards, led by a 1.9-hectare parcel in Le Chambertin, where this release comes from. The 1996 vintage in Burgundy is generally considered to be an excellent year, particularly for red wines. It was marked by favourable weather conditions that allowed for the production of wines with good structure, concentration, and ageing potential.
90 Vinous
Somewhat rustic, musky aromas of dark cherry, crushed rock, spices, licorice, mocha, menthol and herbs. Juicy but a bit lean, with its distinctly saline, medicinal dark fruit and menthol flavors showing good intensity and life, if in the often ungiving style of the vintage. The substantial granular tannins arrive early, turning dusty and slightly dry. Boasts good palate presence but I wanted more texture and sweetness. This wine may still go on for a decade or more but it will never be generous.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2019
