Chambertin Trapet 2009 is crafted from a selection of parcels totalling approximately 1.5 hectares, with about 50% new oak applied during maturation. The wine presents a balanced bouquet of red fruits, particularly red cherry, entwined with earthy notes of underbrush and subtle spice. On the palate, it reveals a firm structure marked by mineral undertones and a distinctly concentrated core. Notably, the Trapet family, producers in Gevrey-Chambertin since the 19th century, emphasise organic viticulture, steering the wine towards authenticity and expression of terroir. Patience is advised when enjoying this expression, as it evolves gradually.

Vinous
Moderately saturated red with no sign of amber. Very ripe red berries and a medicinal aspect on the nose, complicated by hints of caraway seed and lavender; aeration brought a sexy note of raspberry liqueur. The richest, fattest and fleshiest of these vintages to this point--and less sappy and high-pitched than it was in the early going--but with surprising vinosity to frame its flavors of red fruits, dried flowers, wild herbs and soil-driven minerality. This wine can be enjoyed now for its plush sweetness and sheer mouth coverage but will be even more satisfying after it's had a chance to absorb more of its dusty, building, fine-grained tannins. For his part, Jean-Louis Trapet feels that this wine is in a transitional period now. According to Trapet, a huge rain storm on May 21 limited the early flowering, leading to a large quantity of small, millerandé grapes and providing good water reserves that enabled the vines to resist the drought in August. Still, he describes 2009 as a more Mediterranean vintage even if this wine is still young. (13.2% alcohol; 3.51 pH; 3.7 g/l acidity; 38 h/h; harvested on September 16)
