The dark ruby/garnet-colored Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle offers an emerging, complex nose of jammy berry fruit, coffee, spice, and vanilla. It is spicy on the palate, with excellent richness, medium to full body, and an expansiveness and suppleness that have been missing from Trapet's wines for the last two decades. This nearly outstanding effort should drink well over the next 10-12 years. The 1993s are the finest wines made at the Domaine Trapet since the great 1969s. Jean-Louis Trapet has been convinced by his new broker, Patrick Lesec, to stop fining and filtering those barrels purchased by Lesec. I was told Trapet will abandon all fining and filtering beginning with the 1995s. Lesec's cuvees reveal this estate's previously unexploited potential. Bravo to the young Jean-Louis Trapet for turning this once moribund estate around. A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris fax # 011 33 1 42843822), various American importers
