[Ambre Series]

In 2017-2018, two sons of Andre Trapet, Pierre and Louis joined the Domaine Trapet in Alsace. They had the idea of creating a new wine to reflect and translate their terroir from the different angle. The idea was "traditional Alsace grape variety from the vineyard biodynamically maintained for a long time x macération process", and it was not mistaken. They had presented astonishing results immediately. This Ambre series broaden the possibilities for wine making in Alsace, and the paring between wines and cuisines.

The "Ambre Pinots" is made from the blend of Pinot-Noir and Pinot-Gris with macération. Lovely rosé colour, smooth, juicy fruits in dry style.

This cuvee "Riquewihr Gewürztraminer" 2020 shows perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. This full bodied, well structured wines are creamy and have a powerful spicy floral aroma. Excellent with foie gras (from Alsace), fairly spicy food or delicious apple desserts. From 0.5ha granite soil, 30 years old Riesling. Only 2,500 bottles/year.
2021 vintage is dry and crispy, with floral lemony notes. With age, the mineral content is enhanced and the wine acquires a smooth sweet note. It goes remarkably well with slender fish, seafood and the delicious coq au Riesling.

The idea for this wine came from a simple observation, freely inspired by Mr. Jules Chauvet 1960: “Adding sulphites to the harvest is not advisable, knowing that both the yeast and intracellular fermentations give the best yield when there is no SO2″. Once the grapes are in the vat, Trapet uses no sulphur and the fermentations start naturally. Assembrage : Sylvaner, Pinot Auxerrois, Gewurztraminer, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Riesling. Renowned ever since the early Middle Ages, the wines of the Schoenenbourg were famous throughout northern Europe in the 16th century. The great Swiss cartographer, Merian, cited in 1663 "The Schoenenbourg, which produces the most noble wine of this country". Voltaire owned several vineyards here. Wines age particularly well, and in time develop powerful, rich aromas. Its microclimate makes it admirably suited to the production of prestigious VT and SGN. Sporen wines are characterised by their finesse and class, richness allied to elegance. they age remarkably well. Deep soils protect against drought in years of low rainfall, allowing the vine roots to explore the soil and extract all the trace elements which contribute to the complexity of its wines.

Domaine Trapet in Alsace?

You can't reinvent your identity

When Burgundy grape grower meets Alsatian grape grower, an only daughter with a profound affection for her local soil, they feel a primitive, uncontainable duty to draw attention to the vines that tell the secrets of their native soil, a duty that ultimately becomes a passion.

Men come and go, the soil remains, we are merely passing…

We originally felt this urge out of duty and respect for generations of Alsatian grape growers before us (Jean-Pierre and Hélène Grayer, our Great grandparents Pontius). Duty then turned into passion, a passion for the vines of Alsace, and we became determined to make them the closest possible reflection of their homeland.

Finally, it became a pleasure, a pleasure to work with a soil so rich in history and culture, a soil so rich in meaning and emotion, a soil with a strong, steadfast personality, and our ambition for Alsace wines to be signed by Trapet was born.(Andrée Trapet)

L’éloge de la douceur

Wine is one of the most civilized things in existence. In my capacity as a wine grower, the path of gentleness and respect enables me to make my way towards the highest degree of expression of my soils. This gentleness, chosen with due consideration, often follows the paths of tradition.

It travels across the vineyard. From the first buds to harvesting, the grape is accompanied but never forced. It passes through the fermentation room where the bunches of grapes are meticulously sorted and delicately pressed.

It follows its course through the cellar where the wine gently oozes out in all solemnity. It finally slips into its bottle to set free in their entirety, some years later, its flavours and delicate, elegant and harmonious fragrances.

In short, the prospects that gentleness offers to the wine grower who knows how to follow them through are rich. Rich, too, are the heady perspectives for the amateur who knows how to taste them. (Jean-Louis Trapet)
