Domaine Rossignol Trapet Gevrey Chambertin AC
Description: Since the 16th century, the ROSSIGNOL family have been winegrowers in Volnay. The TRAPET family were also traditionaly in the wine business; they were originaly set up in Chambolle-Musigny and moved to Gevrey-Chambertin at the end of the 19th century. Recently, 1961 to 1990, Jacques Rossignol with his wife Mado Trapet were both partners in the Domaine Louis Trapet which the activities ceased with the 1989 vintage. By 1990 Jacques Rossignol and his two sons, Nicolas and David subsequently set up the Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, located in Gevrey-Chambertin and owns vineyards in the internationally renowned villages of Beaune, Savigny-Les-Beaune, Morey-Saint-Denis and of course Gevrey-Chambertin. The grapes are exclusively hand-picked and the local pichers come every year and know perfectly how to pick the ripest grapes. When arriving to the harvesting bins, the grapes are again very severely selected. The grapes are put into harvesting bins in the fermentation room, crushed and put into vats.The grapes are destalked between 60 to 80% depending on the year. Pre-fermenting maceration, pumping-over and numerous pigeages also depend on the characteristics of the grapes. The vatting time lasts from 14 to 16 days. Every must is tasted several times a day to decide precisely when decuvage is needed. The Domaine use about 20% new oaks-barrels for each vintage and this proportion of new oak keeps the aromatic finesse and the elegance of the Pinot Noir. In January, generally, malolactic fermentation is finished and the wines are racked. The wines mature slowly in oak-barrels and therefore develop their bouquet and get their stability and structure. Before bottling, wines are slightly fined , and then bottling occurs between 11 and 14 months of barrels maturing. The 2001 vintage is endowed with a ruby colour and an oak and spice nose, this gives way to a straightforward, firm mouth expressing a profusion of red fruit. The finish is powerful and supported by a layer of fine tannins. Limited availability. (12 x 75 cl)
