Offered JUNE 2nd, 2017

“Jean-Louis Trapet has made some of the most brilliant examples of the 2015 that I tasted on this trip…some of the most pure, refined and stunning red wines to be found in the Côte de Nuits in this vintage!…The Trapet lineup of 2015s was one of these where each wine had slightly different vintage characteristics, with a couple of wines very reminiscent of young 1990s, others more like roasted 2009s and others (the very best to my palate) like theoretical crosses of 2005 and 2010 in personality. But, in each variation on the stylistic theme of the vintage, the wines were crafted exquisitely and the consistent quality here is exemplary.” – John Gilman, View From the Cellar

Trapet Chambertin 2015
12 bottles available, $395 per bottle

98+ points View From the Cellar: “The 2015 Chambertin from Domaine Trapet is utterly brilliant, as it is a big, massive and utterly poised and refined example of the vintage. The heroically proportioned wine is still the essence of Chambertin, as it delivers a brilliant bouquet of black plums, red and black cherries, raw cocoa, grilled meats, a very complex base of soil tones, a touch of graphite and a refined framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and simply bottomless at the core, with a great synthesis of soil signature and sappy, pure fruit. The finish is endless, with fine-grained tannins, lovely acids and stunning complexity. This is one of the wines of the vintage in 2015, without a doubt!”

Trapet Latricieres Chambertin 2015
12 bottles available, $240 per bottle

96 points View From the Cellar: “Latricières-Chambertin is the cooler climat than Chapelle, and for that reason, it always excels in ripe, warm vintages such as 2015. This is more reserved than the flamboyant Chapelle, but every bit as stunning, as it soars from the glass in a mix of black cherries, cassis, bitter chocolate, grilled pigeon, a great base of dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a bit of nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and properly reserved in personality, with a rock solid core of black fruit, great soil signature, fine-grained, ripe tannins and a very long, very pure and chewy finish. Another magical wine.”

Trapet Chapelle Chambertin 2015
12 bottles available, $240 per bottle

96 points View From the Cellar: “Jean-Louis Trapet’s 2015 Chapelle-Chambertin is a great young wine, coming in at 13.5 percent octane and offering up magical depth and purity on both the nose and palate. The celestial bouquet offers up a youthful blend of sappy black cherries, plums, cocoa powder, gamebird, a very complex base of soil, violets and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and utterly refined, with a broad and precise attack, sappy core, marvelous transparency, and a very long, suavely tannic and stunning finish. Brilliant wine.”

Trapet Gevrey Chambertin Capita 2015
24 bottles available, $145 per bottle

94 points View From the Cellar: “Amongst this stellar lineup of 2015 premier crus chez Trapet, the Capita is the finest this year. The bouquet is deep, pure and nascently complex, delivering a refined, sappy blend of red and black cherries, raw cocoa, grilled beef, black minerality, woodsmoke and a gentle framing of spicy oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very intensely flavored, with a rock solid core, great mineral drive, ripe, chewy tannins and great length and grip on the still very primary finish. This is a powerful premier cru that is also seamless and flawlessly balanced. Great juice.”
