Rossignol-Trapet
Created through the marriage of Jacques Rossignol and Mado Trapet, since 1990 the estate has been managed by sons Nicolas and David who quickly moved it to biodynamic farming. Their technique of only racking when necessary produces wines that clearly express their excellent Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards.

Vinous (92)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru is much more backward and introspective than Mortet's La Perrière. Yet, it is well defined and terroir-driven, crushed stones percolate through the red fruit. Understated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine grip, perhaps a little more extraction compared to its peers. Everything feels well balanced with a brisk and quite spicy, chewy finish. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru came across more closed than the domaine’s other Premier crus, light chalk dust scents permeating the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a very smooth texture, more compact and denser than expected but displaying a verticality that will appease those who like "cool," understated Pinot Noir rather than opulence. I suspect it will age extremely well. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru (which underwent a later malo than others) is much earthier on the nose than its peers, without the fruit concentration of the Combottes - a little sultry. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins, a bit "rigid" compared to others. Racking will assist, but I have to be prudent with more evaluation here. |

Vinous (89+)Palish medium red. Aromatic, open-knit nose offers notes of cherry, rose petal and cinnamon. Tightly wound but not hard, with juicy, perfumed dark raspberry and floral flavors intensified by firm acidity and underlying minerality. Juicy, refreshing wine with riper tannins and more length than the Clos Prieur. I may be underrating this. |

Vinous (88-90)Good dark red. High-pitched, slightly high-toned aromas of raspberry, spices and mint show a slightly exotic character. Fresh, dry and classic in the mouth, offering good juicy, spicy intensity. This wine got only a single pigeage, noted Nicolas Rossignol, as it has a tendency to become overly tannic. A bit dusty on the back end but red licorice and floral notes give it personality and perfumed lift. |

Vinous (88)The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru feels a little earthy and disjointed on the nose and never quite gets out of second gear. The palate is medium-bodied with light, rather dry tannin, and simple and rather mealy toward the brettanomyces-tinged finish. This is a bit disappointing after a more promising barrel showing. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Petite Chapelle 1er Cru does not quite gel on the nose like Rossignol-Trapet's better Premier Crus at the moment, just lacks some focus. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, moderate depth but it does attenuate towards the grainy finish. Drink over the next decade. |
