2002 | Domaine Rossignol Trapet | Chambertin

The nose is expressive, pure and airy with fine elegance and nice complexity. The relatively dense flavors are sweet, rich and offer good flavor authority and a bit more power and length at the expense of slightly less definition. Very laid-back but structured wine finishing with suave tannins and strong soil tones. Clearly the best of this set of samples.

Reviews:

• Wine Cellar: Good deep red. Captivating, soil-inflected aromas of redcurrant, cherry, chocolate, mocha, underbrush, menthol and spices. Suave and velvety, with a restrained sweetness and subtle notes of flowers and spices. Very laid-back but structured wine finishing with suave tannins and strong soil tones. Clearly the best of this set of samples.

• James Suckling: This has added a lot of weight since I last saw it from barrel and it frankly seems like a completely different wine as what was an extremely light-bodied wine is now big, rich, full, sappy and while there was lovely complexity, now there is even more. This finishes with fine length and very firm tannins.

Producer Information

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet is wine producer based in Gevrey-Chambertin, 13km (eight miles) south of Dijon, in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits subregion. The wider Rossignol-Trapet estate includes vineyards located in both the Côte de Nuits and the more southerly Côte 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.
