Rich and generous nose. Very pinot! Gently oaky. Aromatic. Strawberry, herbs and a waft of perfume. Medium-fullish palate. Balanced and rich. Almost New World-richness. Strawberry and exotic spices. Only a bit of intensity shows its classification. Super-vintage 2010 delivers again.

Ouvert pour vérifier la réputation du millésime 2010, première rencontre avec le producteur. La robe tend déjà vers l'orangé, le nez est plutôt mutique à l'ouverture, tout comme la bouche. Deux heures d'air plus tard, les arômes ne sont pas très ouverts, mais assez élégants sur la cendre, la ronce, un élevage intégré assez classieux, mais discret. Comme le nez, la bouche n'offre pas beaucoup de fruit, on est face à un vin qui ne manque toutefois pas de séduction dans le genre "beauté froide". Assez élégant et distingué à défaut d'être gourmand, il offre une très belle matière et une persistance moyenne, mais un moulin à vent de Chermette qui passe juste après révèle a posteriori qu'on ne joue pas dans la même cour. J'attendais mieux, mais çà s'est bu tout seul. 90+

lots of fun with this bottle, fantastic nose at opening, medium light body with the Gevrey perfume, little berries with even some rose. The wine was fading after 4 hours, but the bottle was empty, delicious

Very fine, hitting the pinot-spot right on; the purity impresses, very elegant wine, none of the rusticity, than can be the hallmark of this terroir. Very easy to drink, very easy to love, carressing wine ... #Lieffroy

Dunkles Rubinrot Schwarzfruchtig,erdig,floraler Gevrey der wirklich viel Potential hat. Ist aus der Kleinflasche doch sehr schön zu geniessen,was vorallem der samtigen,vollen Art zu verdanken ist. Denke auch ein Ausrufezeichen für die 1.er und Grand Crus aus diesem Jahrgang von Trapet.

Full, oaky nose with nutty aromas. Gun-powder and ginger. Cherry and forest floor. Some NW Pinot impressions... Medium-fullish body. Lovely, generous and inviting. Strawberry, red fruit, ginger and cinnamon. Oaky and succulent. But not overtly complex. The vintage delivers. Ready to go.

It took me a while to convince myself that I wanted to open this very young bottle for New Year's Eve. I did not regret my choice, it was wonderful, slightly tight at the beginning but it began opening after 30 mn. Delicate, pure, fresh, pale color, little concentration. A great old style wine from Trapet, it reminded me of Figeac, another wonderful product not looking for dark color, fruit or oak taste.

This might be the archetypal example of Gevrey Chambertin terroir. Pure, weightless, earthy, minerally, almost tart cherry, spice and raspberry flavors. Masculine with pitch perfect finesse. Medium translucent red color. Great Burg nose! Include this wine in your "Burgundy 101 class". Paid $60 and worth it. 12.5% ALC. Kermit Lynch didn't import this but, he'd love it.

Drink with pleasure: strong chewy wood, loads of fresh fruit and brightness, delicious young burg with a naughty finish in a very good year at $59 I'm not complaining. I'll look for more and try for premiere.

This falls in the category of "best served very chilled." Perfectly drinkable on ice over lunch at LGP, but out of the ice bucket this wine is one those French pinots which are light on the front end and dry and way too chalky on the back end.

Helles Rubinrot. Rote Johannisbeeren,vanillige Kirschen,erdig,Hauch Mokka,Tannine integriert,Holznoten gut eingebunden. 1.Tag Säure prägnanter,2.Tag weicher,runder,minzig. Frischer, reintöniger Gevrey Chambertin mit mittelangem rotfruchtigen Abgang. Hält auch problemlos den Sommer aus.

Lets go of its reduction over about a half an hour; a lovely, light 2010 bright package of a sweet, skunky Gevrey. Nice tart clean acid finish proper to a 2010. Will only get better! I wonder if these will ever shut down. I'm guessing they won't.

La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY): Tasting. Approachable and accessible today on nose and palate. Black fruit, well textured with good balance and length for its level.

DIVA Burgundy Tasting; 3/21/2012-3/22/2012 (Maison Champy - Beaune): Wine tasting. Black berry aromas and flavors. Fruit is somewhat delicate and already easy to enjoy. Sensational for its level, another impressive 2010 from Gevrey.
