About Domaine Rossignol Trapet
This wine domaine was created through the marriage of Jacques Rossignol of Volnay with Mado Trapet from a noted Gevrey-Chambertin family. Their sons Nicolas and David Rossignol have managed the domaine since 1990, moving subsequently to biodynamic farming. The first experiments started in 1997 with their Chapelle-Chambertin, followed by conversion of the whole domaine in 2004. As a result, the wines are both finer and purer than they used to be. This parcel of 40-year-old vines is protected from the wind and gets quite a lot of sunshine. The grapes are sorted first in the vineyard and then on a sorting table at the winery. They are mostly destalked, cooled down, then given two to three weeks of fermentation. There may be a little lees-stirring in a tank before the wines go to barrel. There is no racking unless reductive flavors require it. The domaine Rossignol-Trapet uses 10% percent new oak for its Beaune Teurons, which comes from a 2ha plot situated next to a small limestone cliff which reflects the heat on to their vines, 25 to 30 percent for premier cru Gevrey-Chambertin, 50 percent for the grand crus with perhaps a little more for Le Chambertin. The most recent development is to offer separately its various small holdings of premier cru Gevrey such as Cherbaudes and Combottes. Their wines are elegant, refined, and pure, reflective of their desirable terroir.
