93-95 The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Capita is the last rendition of this cuvée that Trapet will produce, because in the future all the domaine's premiers crus will be separated. The swan song vintage derives exclusively from vines trained on "paisseaux" (as the Burgundians call the stakes, known as échalas in other regions, that support each individual vine) and was vinified without any destemming. The resulting wine is striking, soaring from the glass with scents of sweet red berries and plums mingled with orange rind, rose petals and exotic spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, it's deep and complete, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a long, perfumed finish. ... More details

92-94 Containing 100% whole bunch, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Capita, comes from declassified fruit from Les Combottes, Ergot (next to La Petite-Chapelle) and Corbeaux. It has a very perfumed bouquet, one of the most floral in Trapet's range with hints of iris and lavender. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh with a very elegant and poised finish. Excellent.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Whilst the Pinot Noir grape varietal has its origins in France, and is most closely associated with fine Burgundy wines, it is now grown in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are many reasons for this – the densely packed, deep black bunches of fruits are responsible for making a wide variety of excellent wines, generally agreed to be amongst the most drinkable and accessible one can find. With flavors ranging from currants and red and black berries, to more earthy, spicy notes, Pinot Noir is a versatile varietal which is revered for its relatively light body and beautifully vivid red color However, the grapes themselves are notoriously susceptible to various diseases, and struggle in fluctuating climates. This has not stopped wineries planting and cultivating these vines, though, as Pinot Noir, when grown carefully and treated properly, is a grape with a wide and increasing fan-base, and more often than not produces wonderful wines.

Region: Burgundy

The wines which come out of the Burgundy region of France are regularly hailed as amongst the finest in the world, with the area now being synonymous with quality red wines of exceptional flavor, character and aroma. However, Burgundy is no newcomer to the world of fine wines, with the earliest recordings of the quality of this region's produce dating back to the 6th century, and archaeological evidence suggesting that vineyards had been cultivated there for over two thousand years. Today, there are dozens of controlled appellations within Burgundy, each producing exceptional wines typical of the region. The whole area benefits greatly from hot summers and mild, long autumnal periods, which, when coupled with the generations of expertise of the wineries in Burgundy, consistently produces superb wines for the world's enjoyment.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.
