Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Domaine Rossignol Trapet 2018

Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France, 2018   

100% Pinot Noir aged in oak for over 12 months. 

An estate that has been run by the same family for several generations, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet is situated in the very heart of Burgundy, Gevery Chambertin, home of the prestigious grape variety Pinot Noir. Only natural methods have been used in the vineyards and during vinification. This can lead to the presence of light deposits in the wine which in no way alter the taste or hinder its ageing potential. Quality has soared since brothers Nicolas and David Rossignol converted the Domaine to biodynamic viticulture. In particular, the wines display significantly more depth and concentration than when they took over from their father in the 1990s. 

Fine pure cherry fruit. Succulent, scented and delicately long. Fresh, dry, fine-grained finish. 

"Lively wine with great zest and many layers of flavour. Not a ridiculous price for what is delivered. Throbs with life!" 17/20 points, Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, January 2020
