94 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Very floral in its rose aromas, Cuvée 1859 offers a juicy flesh and without asperities: with its salivating finish, this wine is close to the fruit, underlined by a quality wood that rounds out the finish. (2023)"
94 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2023).
93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "This is the second vintage of the Cuvée 1859, which is made from another parcel of old vines in the lieu à dit of Champs Perrier, which happens to be the first plot of vines purchased by the Trapet family in Gevrey-Chambertin when they moved to the village from Chambolle. Jean-Louis and his family decided to mark the one hundred and sixtieth anniversary of this parcel by bottling the wine on its own in the 2019 vintage, and it has turned out so well that it is now going to be a regular addition to the family’s lineup of wines. Both the 2019 and 2020 show that this is a wine of premier cru quality without a doubt, with the 2020 having been made with one hundred percent whole clusters. The wine offers up a fine aromatic constellation of cassis, dark berries, a lovely array of spices from the sweet stem tones, a beautiful base of soil, cigar wrapper, woodsmoke, a deft framing of vanillin oak and a topnote of violet. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and pure, with lovely sappiness in the mid-palate, excellent backend mineral drive and a long, ripely tannic and impeccable finish. Fine, fine juice. 2028-2065. (Nov/Dec 2021)"
