Domaine Rossignol-Trapet Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2015
Vendor code : 622
The Domaine Rossignol-Trapet range offers a great insight into the terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin, with three very contrasting Grand Cru: Chambertin, Latricières-Chambertin, and Chapelle-Chambertin. The winemaking style from Domaine Rossignol-Trapet can be described as delicate wines, with light extraction, never deep in color but creating subtle textures. Biodynamics acts as the cornerstone.

The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes wine is produced from vines that are on average over 60 years old. The aroma opens up like a morning forest. The flavor is full of freshness, with a not intrusive berry aftertaste.
Brothers Nicolas and David Rossignol produce some of the most sought-after wines in Gevrey-Chambertin. Domaine Rossignol-Trapet switched to biodynamics back in the 90's, it was a conscious choice. Over the years, the vines have gained strength, they can withstand the hot weather and the vintages are excellent. On average, the vines are 60 years old and grow on limestone-clay soil. All work in the vineyard is done by hand, a prime example being in 2018 when the brothers resisted the spread of mold by hand fighting it using horsetail tea. Rossignol-Trapet wines are not massive and muscular - they are wines of purity, complexity, and finesse that evolve to show their Gevrey-Chambertin terroir with finesse. And while they may take a little time, the best Burgundy wines are worth the wait. The team at Lambier Wines is convinced that Rossignol-Trapet is a name that deserves more attention.

Wine Advocate
Neal Martin:"The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, which includes 10% new oak like the Beaune les Teurons, has a straightforward bouquet with redcurrant and cranberry scents, withdrawn at first but opening with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. Moderate weight in the mouth and with a light saline note towards the finish, this is a satisfying if slightly foursquare Gevrey-Chambertin".
