Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru Capita 2019

93-95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "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 cuvée'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. (Jan 2021)"

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "A blend comprising Combottes, En Ergot and Corbeaux, though from 2020 Combottes will be made apart. Medium deep purple, not yet crisp and clear. The bouquet is lovely though, with an optimum degree of ripeness. Quite powerful here and with firm tannins. Two-thirds whole bunches, a mix of whole stalk and the pedicel version. Good length. (Nov 2020)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 'Capita' does not disguise the whole-bunch addition, just like the Petite-Chapelle; no surprise, given that it is 100%. There is an intensity on the nose, which presents strong undergrowth aromas, black truffles and a touch of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins and good structure, though there I find a little more clarity and transparency on the Petite-Chapelle at the moment. Nevertheless, this is a seriously fine Gevrey-Chambertin that should give 20+ years of drinking pleasure. Drink: 2024-2045. (Dec 2020)"
