"Chambertin"
This name is charged with prestige. The place is one of
the most noble in existence. This active and lively nobility
revives the miracle of the nature each summer under sun"
Gaston
Roupnel
This
miracle of nature, which Arthur Trapet sensed one fine morning
in May 1919, when he decided to buy his first parcel of
Chambertin land, and of which we are eager to be worthy.
Day
after day, season after season, we strive to bring vitality
to this royal land. This area has moreover ensured the longest
reign in history.
Its fisrt evocation dates from 630, when the Duke Amalgaire
made a gift of his elite vineyard to the monks of the Abbey
of Bčze.
Then,
later, in 1219, the Abbey of Bčze, situated to the north-east
of Dijon, gave over its domain to the chapter of the St.
Mammes cathedral in Langres.
