Technical sheet written by the domaine :

“Chambertin!… Its name evokes prestige. The place is one of the noblest there is. This nobility, active and alive, renews every summer in the sun, the miracle of nature.”Gaston Roupnel.

Grape variety: Pinot noir

Area: 1 ha 90 ares, 3 plots, the oldest planted in 1919

This miracle of nature, sensed by Arthur Trapet one beautiful May morning in 1919, when he decided to buy his first plot of Chambertin, we strive to be worthy of.

Day after day, season after season, we work to bring this royal terroir to life.
This area indeed ensures the longest reign in history. Its first mention dates back to 630, when Duke Amalgaire gave the elite vineyard to the monks of the Abbey of Bèze. A little later, in 1219, the Abbey of Bèze, located northeast of Dijon, ceded its domaine to the chapter of the St Mammès Cathedral of Langres. It was at this time that the mention of “boschus de campo Bertuyn” appeared, the woods of Chambertin, immediately adjacent to Clos de Béze. It was then a field owned by a certain Bertin.

In the centuries that followed, many owners shaped this wonderful land. “Men change but the land remains.”

This sumptuous land where the blue blood of Pinot Noir flows has a complex geological composition. The lower part is marl-limestone with superb clays of large internal surface.The upper part is much whiter and more marly, which slows down the vegetative cycle and gives this jewel of a wine a royal and rare balance!

This wine from Chambertin opens an infinite, limitless, elusive universe, one of the richest there is!
