Histoire du domaine
The Trapet family’s history in winemaking in Gevrey-Chambertin dates back to the acquisition of a plot known as En Dérée in 1859. Louis Trapet, originally from Chambolle-Musigny, acquired the Premier Cru Petite Chapelle in 1877. The estate’s holdings then expanded with the addition of plots in Latricières-Chambertin and Clos Prieur in 1904, followed by Chapelle-Chambertin in 1909. The first plot of Chambertin was acquired in 1919. Jean-Louis Trapet took over the family-owned part of the estate in 1990, following a split in the historic estate. Herbicides were phased out across the entire estate in 1992. The first trials of biodynamic viticulture began in 1995 in Marsannay and Gevrey-Chambertin, before this approach was adopted across the whole estate in 1997. In the same year, the estate began the process of obtaining Biodyvin and Demeter certification. Pierre and Louis Trapet, sons of Jean-Louis and Andrée Trapet, have joined the family business and are now involved in vineyard work and winemaking.
Chapelle-Chambertin
Chapelle-Chambertin is both a Grand Cru appellation and a physically delimited terroir in Gevrey-Chambertin, consisting of the lieux-dits "En la Chapelle" and "Les Gémeaux". Located on the foothills, in the immediate vicinity of Clos de Bèze from which it is separated by the Route des Grands Crus, it occupies the edge of a slight plateau exposed to the rising sun. Its clayey, carbonated, stony, and shallow soils cover a hard Bajocian limestone substrate and ensure favorable drainage.

Histoire de la parcelle
The chapel Notre-Dame de Bèze was built in 1155 by the monks of the Bèze abbey and demolished around 1830. The reputation of the climat is attested in the 18th century, notably by Abbé Courtépée in 1774. The ruling of the Dijon court in 1931 established the use of the name "Chapelle-Chambertin" and defined its geographical limits; the appellation d'origine contrôlée was subsequently recognized by the decree of July 31, 1937.
