Editors notes
Brothers David and Nicolas Rossignol run this 100% Organic and Biodynamically farmed Domaine located in the very heart of Gevrey Chambertin. Very early to the Sustainable farming movement, all the family's vineyards, located in some of the most impressive vineyards in Burgundy, were converted to Certified Orgainc in 2004.
This esteemed estate started with the marriage of Jacques Rossignol of Volnay with Mado Trapet from a noted Gevrey-Chambertin family.
The wines of 2017 were made with a large percentage (75-100%) of whole bunches to add perfume and tannic structure. The ripeness of the vintage allowed the stems to fully ripen and do not add green notes, rather, they greatly intensify the perfume and layered complexity of all the wines.

Richard Hemming
17+"Succulent and ripe on the nose and palate, with a lovely raspberry and cherry note. Not especially generous, with compact tannins and zesty acid on the finish."

Gary Walsh
95+"One of the biggest problems with Burgundy, is that the higher up the rung you go, the more they seem to want to flog the wines with extract and new oak. This producer seemingly uses a lighter touch in the winery, though they do employ whole bunch, and for this grand cru, a fairly modest 50% new oak. They farm using biodynamic methods too. Importer: United Cellars Understated and unforced. Strawberry, fresh blackberry, spice and black tea leaf, subtle toasty oak in the mix. It’s medium-bodied at most, gentle and fragrantly earthy and smoky, dry tannin, but supple and refined. Cool ‘mineral’ and sappy acidity and earthy spice on a long but tight finish. Classy wine. More to come."

Huon Hooke
98"Full red colour with a tinge of purple in the rim, while the bouquet is toasty, oaky, smoky and savoury. Ripe cherry emerged with extended airing. The wine has superior concentration, richness and vitality, the palate very deep and long with sustained flavour enlivened by plentiful acidity. There's more oak and more acidity than this maker's other 2017 wines tasted - also more concentration. The pay-off will come in future, after further ageing. Outstanding wine. (Certified biodynamic)"

Locations
France
Wine is being produced throughout France and has been done for over 2,500 years with certain Châteaux dating their history back to Roman times, around 6th Century BC. Ranking second in the world in per-capita consumption and first in total production quantity. More so than the overall quantity of wine is the quantity of truly great wines coming out of France makes the nation the envy of wine-making nations worldwide.
Two concepts pivotal to the higher end French wines, in particular, are the idea of 'terroir' and the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system. Terroir refers to the way the geography, geology and climate find their way into the glass, telling a story of the origin of the wine. The AOC was set up in 1935 and has the primary goal of protecting the authenticity of the wines and the livelihoods of the producers. Appellation rules strictly define which varieties of grapes and winemaking practices are approved for classification in each of France's several hundred geographically defined appellations, which can cover entire regions, individual villages or in some cases, like in Burgundy even specific vineyards.
Classic wine regions in France include Champagne (home of Champagne), Burgundy (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay), Bordeaux (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot), Alsace (Aromatic varietals), Loire Valley (Chenin Blanc, Crémant) and the Rhône Valley (Syrah, Grenache Mourvedre)
The Bordeaux classification of 1855 is still in use, as is the Sauternes and Barsac Classification of the same year. Wines from certain regions can be bought En Primeur, which is when the wine is sold prior to it being bottled.
Burgundy
Burgundy is undoubtedly the home of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnays in the world, where vineyards, or Domaines have been producing wines for over 2000 years. Burgundy is located in the North-east of France, an hours drive from Lyon and 2 hours from Paris. With over 100 appellations, or sub-regions (more than any other wine region) Burgundy is known for being the most terroir-oriented region in the World. The finest red wines of Burgundy are found in the Côte d'Or, a string of villages including Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St Georges.
There are flavours present in great Burgundys that are the envy of Pinot Noir producers worldwide. The elusive peacocks tail finish that goes on and on, and the pretty-elegance backed by Burgundy muscle is the goal of winemakers around the globe. The main levels in the Burgundy classifications, in descending order of quality, are: Grand crus, Premier crus, village appellations, and finally regional appellations. For the Chablis wines, a similar hierarchy of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines is used, plus Petit Chablis as a level below Village Chablis.

About the brand Domaine Rossignol-Trapet
The Rossignol Trapet domaine goes back to 1990 when the originally Trapet Domaine was divided between the family members. Today Rossignol Trapet has 13 ha mainly in Gevrey Chambertin (over 85%) and some vineyards in the Beaune district and the rest in Cote du Nuits. The new winery is in the centre of Gevrey just off the main road. With the new winery came the new approach to convert from conventional to organic and later to biodynamic vine growing and winemaking. Their wines show purity and gracefulness not necessarily lacking the depth of Gevrey but showing more finesse and elegance.
