ABOUT THIS WINE
The Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Trapet, vintage 2021, is a distinguished French red wine made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes.

Domaine Trapet is recognized for its long-standing commitment to biodynamic viticulture, a philosophy deeply integrated into the estate's operations since the mid-1990s. The estate cultivates 1.9 hectares of Chambertin, with vines planted as early as 1919, grown in calcareous clay soils. The 2021 vintage is noted for its elegance and transparency.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Chambertin Grand Cru involves partial destemming followed by a cool pre-fermentation maceration, leading into a long fermentation. Wines are moved to the barrel cellar using gravity. For the 2021 vintage, approximately 60% whole clusters were utilized during fermentation. The wine then undergoes aging in barrels, with new oak usage typically around 50% for Grand Crus. Minimal sulfur is added, with a small dose reserved for bottling.
