DOMAINE DU TRAPADIS

La P’tite Cote 2022

Domaine du Trapadis is a historic, family-owned estate in Rasteau, with a lineage stretching back over four generations. For the past 20+ years, Helen Durand has overseen the estate, guiding its winemaking style towards greater nuance and complexity.

Under Helen’s leadership, the 34-hectare vineyard has transitioned to organic and biodynamic practices, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture. This shift has had a profound impact on the character of the wines.

Whereas the red wines of the Rasteau region are typically rich and dense, the Domaine du Trapadis wines have evolved in a different direction. Through a lower-intervention approach and gentler extraction, Helen has crafted a more refined, chiseled, and elegant style – lighter yet more complex than the regional norm.
