The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin "Capita" is a cuvée that debuted in 2003. This year it comprises 100% whole cluster. The parcels are located in Les Combottes, Ergot (next to La Petite-Chapelle) and Corbeaux. The open, generous bouquet of brambly red fruit is earthier in style than other cuvées, and the tangible stem addition lends mulch-like/leafy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, a silky texture and a pixelated, harmonious raspberry preserve and black currant finish. This is simply another seductive and beautifully crafted Gevrey-Chambertin from Jean-Louis Trapet. Neal Martin Vinous 92-94 points
