WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Domaine Trapet begins with hand-harvested and rigorously sorted Pinot Noir grapes. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats using indigenous yeasts, with a focus on gentle maceration and measured extraction. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, with a controlled percentage of new oak. No fining or filtration is performed. The estate's commitment to biodynamic viticulture is a foundational element of their approach, aiming to capture the purity and terroir expression of the Chapelle-Chambertin vineyard.
