Decanter, November 2023

Although it is close to their holding in Petite Chapelle, the soils are very different, and En Ergot lacks the thick limestone slabs that are only 30-40 cm below the surface in the former vineyard. Here, Trapet vinifies...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, November 2023

(91-94 points) A fine bright fresh purple. Up to 50% whole bunches, which lift the floral side of the nose. The profile reminds Louis more of Clos Prieur than Petite Chapelle, which is the immediate neighbour...

Vinous, January 2024

(VN 92-94 points) The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Ergot 1er Cru has an exquisite bouquet with black cherry, wild strawberry and touches of pressed flowers. It blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte...

Burghound, January 2024

(91-93 points) Fresh, ripe and airy aromas are laced with soft earth, floral and spice whiffs. The delicious, vibrant and nicely detailed flavors are not especially dense though I do like the mouthfeel that contrasts...

(WA 91-93 points) One of the Trapet family's historic holdings, which they began to bottle separately last year, the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru En Ergot derives from a parcel acquired in the 1880s that's an enclave...

The 2022 Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru En Ergot is a notable Pinot Noir from the Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region. This wine, produced by Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils, has garnered attention for its unique profile and the vineyard's historical significance, with the parcel being acquired by the Trapet family in the 1880s.

William Kelley from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate describes the wine as "medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping," with an elegant profile. He highlights its aromas of cherries, berries, plums, and spices, awarding it a score of 93. Kelley notes that this wine derives from a parcel with deeper soils, offering a generous core of fruit.

Neal Martin from Vinous praises its "exquisite bouquet" and "harmonious and tender" palate. He awards it a score of 94, emphasizing the wine's svelte tannins and a touch of spice, which lend it a "real sensuality." Martin regards the wine as "gorgeous," indicating a sense of appreciation for its overall composition.

Decanter gives the highest score of 95, noting that the wine's soils differ significantly from those in Petite Chapelle, with En Ergot lacking thick limestone slabs. The review highlights the vinification process, with 50-60% of the crop being vinified as whole clusters and gentle extraction methods used. This approach yields an "expressive, accessible wine with bright red and black fruit and plenty of nuance." Decanter suggests that this wine will likely be ready to drink earlier than other premier crus in the Trapet cellar.

Overall, this Pinot Noir is characterized by its charming and balanced profile, making it a commendable choice for those seeking a distinguished Burgundy wine.
