History of the Domaine Trapet
The history of Domaine Trapet is closely linked to Gevrey-Chambertin and the great terroirs of Burgundy. In May 1919, Arthur Trapet bought his first parcel of vines in Chambertin. Since then, generation after generation, the Trapet family has continued to bring this exceptional Pinot Noir terroir to life.
The soils here are remarkably complex. Lower on the slope, marl-limestone and clay soils bring power and depth, while the higher, lighter marl soils help slow the vine’s growing cycle and contribute to the balance of the wines.
Today, the estate continues its story between Burgundy and Alsace. Jean-Louis and Andrée Trapet have played a key role in shaping the domaine through their commitment to biodynamic farming, with the aim of preserving the soils and allowing each terroir to express itself fully. The new generation, represented by Pierre and Louis Trapet, carries on this family heritage with the same high standards.
