The 2023 Domaine Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée 1859 is a highly anticipated red Burgundy, commemorating the year the Trapet family acquired their first vineyard parcel in En Dérée. This cuvée is a blend from ancient vines in the lieux-dits of Champ Perrier Bas and En Derae, with some exceeding a century in age. Critics like Antonio Galloni and Jasper Morris have praised this vintage, noting its expressive and impressively delineated bouquet. It's characterized by lush, ripe aromas of blackberry and plum, with hints of eucalyptus, dark chocolate, earth, and subtle peppery notes from the 80% whole cluster fermentation. The palate is very well balanced, offering good depth and body, with a dense texture, firm tannins, and a very long, saline, mineral finish. 【This wine embodies what Gevrey-Chambertin can deliver: structure without heaviness, complexity without opulence, reflecting Jean-Louis Trapet's pioneering work in biodynamic viticulture.】 Food Pairing: This elegant Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin is a perfect match for beef short ribs, duck breast, venison, herb-crusted lamb, roasted root vegetables, and mature cheeses. Its structure and finesse will complement rich and savory dishes beautifully. Event Suggestions: The 2023 Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée 1859 is an excellent choice for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion with discerning wine lovers, or as a centerpiece for a Burgundy tasting. While accessible from release, it also has significant aging potential, with recommendations to drink from 2029-2035.
