Staff Pick Notes

The Trapets Are Magicians

The Trapets have been Biodynamic since 1998. 30% of the grapes are de-stemmed. The grape skins are soaked in their juice for 3 weeks. The wines are bottled without filtration after 15-18 months. This Gev-Cham 2010 starts with a beautiful color. Pour yourself a little and tilt the glass over a white surface to see a transparent ruby from the past. The first smell is of delicious savory red berries. 2010 is like 2009 for good ripeness levels, releasing smells of raspberry jam in this wine. The taste is dry with red berry tea flavors and minerals. The flavor has a wow factor; this is what red berries aspire to be. How can a winery convert the sugar of grapes into alcohol and still retain the taste of the grapes? Amazing!

The range of wine styles offered in Burgundy rivals that of any other region. In Chablis, Chardonnay is left unoaked to produce lean, crisp, steely wines with incredible acidity - a far cry from the vanilla-oak bombs that so many consumers associate with this grape. Fans of rich, unctuous, and well-oaked Chardonnay will enjoy Chassagne-Montrachet, whose age-worthy offerings offer all the fatness of a California wine, yet retain a very Burgundian, mineral-driven core and great acidity....
