Domaine Trapet Pere et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Capita 2014 750ml

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Capita comes from three parcels in Combotte, Corbeaux and Ergot. It had shut up shop when I tasted it from barrel with the fruit tightly coiled and not coming out to play. “Grump” might be the word, piqued at being asked to perform so soon. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and there is some oak here to be assimilated. There is quite a structured, grippy finish, sturdy but still compelling. It will benefit from at least 2-3 years in bottle to shake off its broody sensibility.
