Domaine Trapet Latricieres Chambertin 2005
The 2005 Domaine Trapet Latricières-Chambertin is a red Burgundy wine from the Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru in Gevrey-Chambertin. Crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, it comes from the estate's Latricières parcel. This cuvée originates from a 75-are lieu-dit owned by the Trapet family since 1904, with the oldest vines planted in 1938. Located near the Combe Grisard, the terroir combines a clay-limestone substrate with a thin layer of silica.

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.
Latricières-Chambertin
The plot area of Latricières-Chambertin occupies the heart of the "Latricières" lieu-dit, immediately south of Chambertin, in the territory of Gevrey-Chambertin. The vines are located on the foothills, on a slight flat area facing east, at the mouth of the Combe Grisard. The soils, which are thin, carbonated, and well-draining, combine scree, clays, and red silts above a Bajocian marly-limestone substrate.

Histoire de la parcelle
The lieu-dit is mentioned for the first time in the 16th century and acquired its reputation in the 18th century. Jules Lavalle classified its wines as "second cuvée" in 1855. A judgment by the Dijon court in 1931 recognized the Latricières-Chambertin appellation of origin and established its geographical boundaries; the AOC was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937.
