The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Capita is the usual blend of fruit
from the premiers crus En Ergot, Corbeaux and Combottes, supplemented by
a visual selection of small-berried clusters from Petite Chapelle and
Clos Prieur, though Trapet notes that this may be the cuvee's swan song,
as his sons are keen to vinify these parcels separately. Wafting from
the glass with scents of cassis, dark berries, peonies, raw cocoa and
spices, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with terrific
concentration, lively acids and an elegantly complete profile.
Concentrated but beautifully refined, it's a fabulous wine in the making.
