Vineyard

Rossignol-Trapet

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet was established in 1990. The union of the Rossignols and the Trapets stems from the marriage of Jacques Rossignol, of a Volnay winemaking family, to Mado Trapet, Jean-Louis Trapet’s aunt. The Trapet holdings were divided when the sons of both families – David and Nicolas Rossignol and Jean-Louis Trapet – returned from their studies.In 2005, Nicolas and David began conversion to biodynamic viticulture. The vineyards were certified organic and biodynamic in 2008. The cellar, which is partly subterranean, was built in 1983. A row of lights around the cellar walls indicates ground level. The water table lies almost immediately beneath the cellar, ensuring a high level of natural humidity.Partial whole-bunch fermentation is used here (see the notes for the detail). Wines are not racked after the malolactic conversion, which is always finished by the end of November. The proportions of new oak are around 25% for the premiers crus and 40-50% for the grands crus. Barrels, from François Frères, Rousseau and Chassin, receive a medium-long toast and are dried for 36 months.

THE 2022 VINTAGE AT DOMAINE ROSSIGNOL-TRAPET

Partial whole-bunch fermentation is used here two-thirds on average in 2022. Wines are not racked after the malolactic conversion, which is always finished by the end of November (it went through in October in 2022). The proportions of new oak are around 25% for the premiers and 40-50% for the grands crus. Barrels, from François Frères, Rousseau and Chassin, receive a medium-long toast and are dried for 36 months.

BEAUNE 1ER CRU LES TEURONS

1.2 hectare plot, planted in 1978, is on the high part of Teurons close to the woods and beside Aux Cras. This is, iron-rich red soil. The cliff at the top of the slope reflects the sun and along with the trees, protect the vines, making for early ripening. A  Teurons of bright raspberry fruit, juicy and joyful with supple tannins. Irrepresible this is a great start (it was the first 2022 I tasted!) 10% new oak, with 50% whole bunch vinification.

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN AUX ETELOIS

Aux Etelois is a lieu-dit just downslope from grands crus Chapelle- and Griotte-Chambertin. The soils here are very stony. I had always assumed the name derived from étoille but, less romantically, it appears to come from the Latin for ‘hut’. Which just does to show that you shouldn’t look up everything. Enticingly spicy on the nose, with poised, cool raspberry aromas and a hint of cedary richness behind. The palate is sappy and supple, the red berry flavours delineated by a hint of undergrowth and a line of dark rocky minerality. Then the merest squeeze of fine tannin on the finish. This hangs together beautifully. Tasted in London in January 2024.

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN VIEILLES VIGNES

This is a selection from just over five hectares of 45 -85 year old vines, across eight different parcels, with light gravelly soils. Dark and sinewy, the naturally robust tannins here are fleshed out by juicy raspberry and blackberry fruit coming to a sappy point on the long finish. Lovely rose perfume and exotic spices. Two thirds whole bunch fermentation, 10% new oak. This is the Domaine’s highest production cuvée: 20,000 bottles were made in 2022.

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN 1ER CRU CLOS PRIEUR

This comes from a 0.25 hectare plot planted in 1986. Sometimes called a ‘baby’, it is just down the slope and across the road from Chambertin. Intense dark berry perfume. The palate is rich and lushly fruited, whilst retaining a core of fresh acidity enlivens the impressive raspberry and blackberry fruit. Two third whole bunch fermentation, with 25% new oak.

GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN 1ER CRU PETITE CHAPELLE

Petite Chapelle has a 1.5m deep layer of top-soil and, in Nicolas’ words, is “full of clay”. This is a 0.5 hectare holding, straddling both lieux-dits of Petite Chapelle. Dark and saturated, this is a wine of substance in 2022. The fine tannins have a fleshy fruit-coating, with demonstrative red berry and cherry fruit. Rich and showing its clay-heavy soils. Two thirds whole bunch fermentation, with 25% new oak.

LATRICIÈRES-CHAMBERTIN GRAND CRU



One parcel here from the 1930s and another was planted after the 1956 frost. Latricières is once again the most aromatically expressive of the grands crus perhaps due to its breezier, less protected aspect. Dark, forest fruit aromas, this has the coolness of Latricieres with the natural exuberance of 2022. The palate is lush and supple, with blackberry coulis and sweet redcurrant overlaying the fine precision of this site.  Two third whole bunch vinification with 40% new oak
