Chambertin Trapet 2005 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Gevrey-Chambertin region of Burgundy, France. Trapet is a benchmark producer in Gevrey-Chambertin, known for their biodynamic approach and their ability to produce wines of immense power and refined structural elegance. The 2005 vintage is legendary in Burgundy, providing the perfect conditions for the wine to develop a robust, muscular structure balanced by vibrant acidity and deep, earthy complexity. It features an expressive nose of forest floor, black raspberry, liquorice and star anise. The palate is broad and velvety, with an underlying intensity that ensures an enduring, spice-inflected finish that continues to evolve.

The 2008 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has an attractive leafy nose with touches of rooibos, Japanese black tea and light red berry fruit. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, pretty tart, red berry fruit, not deep and lightly poised on the finish. This is a beautiful Clos-de-Bèze that is reaching its peak. - Neil Martin - Deep, youthful red. Deep aromas of black cherry, dark berries and licorice, complicated by a hint of menthol (but no greenness), leathery and meaty nuances, and a faint liqueur-like warmth. Quite fleshy, broad and rich, with its dark fruit and mineral flavors conveying a distinctly spicy quality. This doesn't quite display the high notes of the 2008 but then it's a sunnier style of wine. Compellingly full in the mouth and evolving very slowly. Finishes sappy and very long, with serious youthful tannins that avoid dryness but could still use more time to round out. (13.25% alcohol; 38.5 h/h; 3.48 pH, 3.6 g/l acidity; vinified with 60% whole clusters, which Trapet described as a little high for him)
93 Robert Parker
The Trapet 2005 Chambertin comes from three (I am told) geologically distinct parcels. Bitter-sweet cherry, anisette, and mocha scent the nose. In the mouth this is undeniably expansive and rich, with complexities of gamey meatiness and humus mingling with its sweet berry fruit. Whether it is some negative synergy with the barrel or just the result of recent bottling, I find a slight sour streak in the finish. But a small (and hopefully fleeting) blemish can be easily hidden amid such folds of fruit, viscosity and abundant, fine-grained tannin as are on display . This is perfect for those who want a friendly bear of a Burgundy they can hug – preferably in around ten years’ time.
