Drinking Window: 2020 – 2025
Trapet Père et Fils, a stellar producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, blends equal parts Pinot Noir and Gamay grown in Grand Champs, a vineyard in that village, for its Passe-tout-grains. It takes its name from the philosophy of minimal intervention, which in this case means biodynamic farming, indigenous yeasts and the addition of only a hint of sulphur at bottling. The result is a delicious blend of juicy red fruit and spicy, herbal, earthy notes. Tannins are suave, which makes it fine for drinking now. Its acidity keeps it fresh and lively throughout a meal.
