Not desperately intense crimson but really intense nose! Autumn berries, nuts, a hint of bracken lots there! Very mouthfilling and full of pleasure. There will be more classic renditions but what`s not to like here? Tannins very fine and well couterbalanced by all that fruit. Quite exotic. Relatively evolved. Not for the very, very long-term.

Producer Information

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet is wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, 13km (eight miles) south of Dijon, in Burgundy’s Cte de Nuits subregion. The wider Rossignol-Trapet estate includes vineyards located in both the Cte de Nuits and the more southerly Cte de Beaune, and produces a range of wines covering grand and premier cru sites, predominantly in the Gevrey and Beaune appellations. The domaine was founded in 1961 by the marriage of Jacques Rossignol and Mado Trapet. Both the Rossignol and Trapet families have long and notable histories in the regions of Volnay and Gevrey-Chambertin, respectively. Their sons Nicolas and David Rossignol took over the management of the estate in 1990, and subsequently introduced biodynamic agricultural practices to the Domaine. The estate is a Pinot Noir producer, working with the variety across a range of sites and at vine densities that range from low to high. They are generally located on southeast facing hillsides, typified by mineral-rich soils composed of clay and a variety of minerals, but mainly based around limestone. The estate is certified biodynamic by Demeter and organic by Ecocert, and favors the use of of natural herbicides, as well as natural and organic fertilizers, in its vineyards. Domaine Rossignol-Trapet holds vineyards in the Cte de Nuits Grand Cru climats of Le Chambertin, Latricieres-Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin, as well as five Cte de Nuits Premier Cru-classified vineyards in Clos Prieur, Petite Chapelle, Cherbaudes, Les Corbeaux and Aux Combottes. The Domaine’s sole Beaune Premier Cru-classified vineyard is Les Teurons (one of the largest in Beaune) but also has vines in Savigny-ls-Beaune.
