Flight 1 - Domaine Jean et Jean-Louis Trapet, Gevrey-Chambertin (7 Notes)
Went to pick up my birthday wine and an anniversary wine for S2; they insisted that we do a tasting.

With Chantal Lafarge
2008 Domaine Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
Much brighter than I expected from ’08 Gevrey but there is still lots of muscle. Earth, mineral, clove and cherry. Geez I love Trapet.

2007 Domaine Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Much richer than the village with a stronger line of terroir. Obviously masculine Gevrey, but almost a feminine elegance. Jean-Louis has a brilliant touch. Strong Cassis with nice complexity and balance.

2007 Domaine Trapet Chapelle-Chambertin
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru
Very thick in the mouth with an austere mix of black and red fruits (red dominates). Lots of dirt.

2007 Domaine Trapet Chambertin
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Rocket fuel, almost a touch of petrol, but it isn’t alcohol. We tasted this two years ago and the evolution is extraordinary. The mid-palate keeps surprising as successive waves of layered fruits are revealed. Manages to be old-school, austere Burgundy, but with ripe fruit, even in a less than ideal vintage. Amazing complexity.

2006 Trapet d'Alsace Riesling Beblenheim
France, Alsace
Alsatian. Soft with no petrol or intense minerality. Oops, ok a little petrol now. Also a little creamy with soft acid. Once again very elegant.

2006 Trapet d'Alsace Gewurztraminer
France, Alsace
Still creamy mouthfeel with an explosion of honeysuckle, jasmine and great Gewrtz spice. Apricot and ginger. Very yummy.

2007 Trapet d'Alsace Riesling Schlossberg
France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru
Bought this one and had it with dinner in Paris. Much more elegance than power. Pear, citrus, serious wet stone minerality, asian spice, coriander. Obviously Alsatian. A little creaminess in the middle. Acid, petrol and a touch of sweetness on the finish. QUINCE and ginger!
