Domaine Jean Louis Trapet Gevrey Chambertin Ostréa
Jean-Louis Trapet is an articulate man, at peace in a world where "men are mere mortals, and since wine is all about sharing and transmission, his great-great-grandfather's legacy, founded in 1870, has been kept alive. Today he takes care of 15 hectares of vineyard, among the best-located in Gevrey. He is merely the custodian of this treasure: three grands crus (Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Latricières-Chambertin), two premiers crus (Petite Chapelle and Clos Prieur), Marsannay and Bourgogne. Since 1995 the entire domain uses biodynamics: free of any harsh practices in the vineyard as well as in the cellars, which respects the natural balance of the wine. This approach is above all based on observation: to protect the vines while monitoring their growth and development. Maturating is a decisive stage at the Trapet domain: once the vinification is finished (with minimum intervention), the wines are taken down to the cellar and put in barrels to mature slowly over the winter months at their own speed. The Gevrey-Chambertin Ostrea from Trapet comes from four parcels, one of which has the oldest vines in the domain, each chosen for their terroir's characteristics. This blend has a unique geological and climatic identity which produces a dense wine.
Giant Steps Coal River Pinot Noir
Gran Moraine Pinot Noir
This Pinot Noir opens with captivating aromas of ripe strawberry, black tea, and a delicate floral lift. The palate is medium to full-bodied, revealing a harmonious blend of concentrated red fruit, a touch of cola, and well-integrated oak, all supported by supple tannins that lead to a smooth, complex, and memorable finish.
Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir
An enticing wine that will awaken your senses from the very first encounter. Leather, boysenberry and sweet spices combine. The supple palate with its transparent flavours of red fruit and earthy textures leads to a finish that is both balanced and intriguing.
Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru
Comte Armand is one of the leading and best estates in Pommard. This wine rivals Bordeaux in terms of intensity and concentration. To many it will always have an underlying elegance and class.
Confuron Cotetidot Echezeaux Grand Cru
Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Grand Cru, Echezeaux The Premier Cru terroirs of Les Suchots divide the Echézeaux Grand Cru plots from those of the Vosne-Romanée, a stones throw to the south. Here, in this part of the world, Pinot Noir achieves it zenith, at least in the eyes (indeed all senses) of Burgundy obsessives. At Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot organic practices come by way of tradition rather than the usual born-again idea than if it was good enough for my grand-père and so on. The wine itself see very little piégeage and more time on oak than many others (18-24 months). What results is the finest of the Domaines Grand Crus, unlike the weightier Vougeots and Chambertins. The Confuron-Cotetidot Echézeaux Grand Cru is dreamily aromatic and perfectly cut on the palate, not a stitch out of place.
Confuron Cotetidot Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru
The domaine has an impressive portfolio of vineyards with several Grands Crus and the revered Premier Cru of Les Suchots. The Confurons have always taken the greatest care in the vineyards, performing their own massale selection of vines (ie selecting and using the healthiest plants for propagation), which are on average 65 years old. Unusually for Burgundy, their vineyards have never been treated with herbicides or pesticides, and the vine roots penetrate deep into the soils, giving the grapes a minerality that defines our terroir.
