Rossignol-Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021

Rossignol-Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021
Old-vine breadth meets 2021's classical finesse in this biodynamic Gevrey, drawn from plots spanning En Combe to Justice. Yields were trimmed by frost yet the Rossignol brothers coaxed silken Pinot fruit, lifted spice and a mouth-watering limestone pulse that give this village bottling the tension and poise of a Premier-Cru pretender.

The Domaine
Brothers Nicolas and David Rossignol helm this 14-hectare estate created from the historic Trapet holdings in 1990. Their meticulous biodynamic work yields wines that channel Gevrey’s varied soils with crystalline precision, from village plots to Grand Cru Chambertin. Recent vintages underscore a quiet mastery that collectors increasingly regard as one of the Côte de Nuits’ insider treasures.
