Domaine Trapet Alsace
ドメーヌ・トラペ・アルザス
Biodynamic Alsace estate from Burgundy's legendary Trapet family
Domaine Trapet Alsace is the Alsatian branch of the celebrated Trapet family of Gevrey-Chambertin, founded and run since the early 2000s by Andrée Trapet — wife of Burgundy winemaker Jean-Louis Trapet — on vines she inherited from her own parents in Riquewihr. Starting from a small parcel, the estate expanded over the following two decades to include four Grand Cru sites (Schoenenbourg, Schlossberg, Sporen and Sonnenglanz) spread across Riquewihr and Beblenheim. Farmed biodynamically and Demeter-certified since Andrée's early tenure, the domaine is now tended by her and Jean-Louis's sons, Louis and Pierre Trapet, applying the same rigorous, low-intervention philosophy that defines the family's Burgundy estate. The range centers on Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois, Sylvaner and Pinot Noir, crafted in a dry, precise, terroir-driven style. Note: this is a distinct sister estate to Domaine Trapet Père et Fils in Gevrey-Chambertin, not the same legal entity.
