Domaine Jean Louis Trapet - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru - Capita - Rouge - 2019

Wine:

A blend of the En Ergot, Corbeaux and Combottes climates, as well as a few selections from Clos Prieur and Petite Chapelle, the 2019 Red Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Capita offers magnificent concentration, notes of dark berries, black currants, spice and above all an extremely elegant, fresh and refined profile. A racy, streamlined wine with crisp tannins and a saline vibrancy that will offer immediate pleasure while possessing real aging capacity. Rated 93-95/100 Parker, 95/100 Bettane+Desseauve.

An idealistic and sensitive winemaker, Jean-Louis Trapet works as a virtuoso on his family estate, which he has raised to the top of the current Burgundy scene. Attentive and demanding, a convinced follower of biodynamics, he expresses in his wines the most infinite nuances of his terroir, finding tannins of a rare elegance and a level of complexity and accomplishment rarely reached. 

Few estates can claim such grace, especially since it extends across the entire range. From the smallest wine to the grand cru of Chambertin, everything here transpires intelligence and the most exact formulation.
