Gevrey-Chambertin Alea 2012 from Domaine Trapet is a Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin. Jean-Louis Trapet employs biodynamic viticulture and a gentle winemaking approach to preserve the natural florality of the fruit. The 2012 vintage produced wines of great aromatic intensity and structural balance, which are beautifully reflected in this bottling. It offers a profile of red cherries, violets and forest floor, with a silky texture and fine-grained tannins. Maturation in French oak has been handled with restraint, allowing the wine’s mineral core to shine.
90 Vinous
(60% vendange entier; this premier cru includes grapes from Clos Prieur, Petite Chapelle, Ergot, Corbeaux and Combottes): Good dark red. Musky aromas of plum, redcurrant, leather, mocha and earth. A step up in fruitiness and sweetness from the Ostrea but still with a slight edge of acidity showing. The most tannic of these wines to this point, but the tannins are dusty and fine. Serious and brisk.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2014
