1988 | Trapet | Chambertin (Magnum)

Introduction

Red Wine: 1988 | Trapet | Chambertin (Magnum)

Full, fully mature color. Rich, ripe and spicy on the nose. Medium-full body on the palate. A slightly lack of concentration and distinction but balanced and ripe, if not exactly rich….Very good indeed at best.

• Wine Spectator: Ripe and elegant, with good intensity of black cherry and currant aromas and flavors, crisp acidity to support it and nice nutmeg and smoke shadings to give it depth.

Producer Information

Domaine Trapet is a wine company comprised of two estates, one in Alsace, the other in Burgundy. The company in its current dual-region configuration formed when Andre Trapet inherited her parents’ vineyards in Alsace in 2002. Her husband Jean-Louis has run Domaine Trapet Pre et Fils in Gevrey-Chambertin since 1990, when he took over from his father Jean.The latter property is one of the great historic estates of the Cte de Nuits. There are 16 hectares (39.5 acres) of estate vineyards, led by parcels in Le Chambertin (a very substantial 1.9ha), Latricires-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin.The deep, concentrated wines from these grand cru sites are the flagship bottlings, but the Trapet Pre et Fils portfolio also includes fine Pinot Noir from three premier cru and two village-level vineyards, as well as highly rated red and white Marsannay and Bourgogne Rouge and Blanc.The portfolio of Domaine Trapet-Alsace includes bottlings from five grand crus: Schoenenbourg, Schlossberg, Sporen, Sonnenglanz and the recently added Mambourg. Village wines (Riesling and Gewurztraminer) come from Riquewihr and Beblenheim. A multivarietal Alsace Blanc, A Minima, is the counterpart of a Bourgogne Passetoutgrains Gamay-Pinot Noir red.
