The 2022 Côte de Nuits-Villages Meix Fringuet exhibits aromas of cherries, berries and plum preserve, followed by a medium-bodied, tangy palate that unites sweet fruit with racy acidity in a style reminiscent of the 2020 vintage.
The Trapet renaissance continues, and that's confirmed by a fine set of 2022s at this Gevrey-Chambertin reference point. As readers will remember, there have been a host of changes at this address in recent years: in 2020, fully seven hectares of the domaine's holdings were converted both to échalas and to higher trellising stakes and wires, depending on the steepness of the slope. Since then, changes have been rolled out in other parcels too. Given the extent of Trapet's holdings in prime climats, that means that the walk from Morey-Saint-Denis to Gevrey-Chambertin suddenly looks rather different. In the cuverie, winemaking continues to be very classical, with important percentages of whole clusters. There are more smaller cuvées too, including a Gevrey-Chambertin 1859, from old vines in lieu-dit Champerrier, as well as separate bottlings for the domaine's premiers crus that were formerly blended together.

Offering up aromas of cherries, sweet berries, warm spices and orange rind, the 2020 C?te de Nuits-Villages Meix Fringuet is medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant, with lively acids and melting tannins. It's a pretty, precise wine that was matured in a wooden tronconic tank this year.
