Bourgogne Blanc regularly offer some of the best value Burgundy and Trapets is no exception
Senior private salesman, Tom Bird, and I had to feel quite sorry for this Bourgogne Blanc. Having been bottled, it had been
missed out of the main tasting and made its appearance after we had tasted the Trapet¿s Alsace wines (which are outstanding
this year) and specifically the Gewurztraminer - no retiring violet. Nonetheless it held its own. Bourgogne Blanc can come
from anywhere in the region from Chablis to the south but this comes from two limestone-rich plots within the commune
of Marsannay and its origins are reflected in the aromatics presented on the nose. There is more stone fruit character
here than the orchard apples and pears found in the Côte de Beaune, though both aromatic styles are present. Shimmering,
pale white-gold, delicately perfumed, this is a pretty, aromatic white complemented by a refined, nutty minerality. Fresh and
vibrant, it punches well above its modest generic status.
