Domaine Rossignol-Trapet Savigny-Les-Beaune 2019
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.

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.
This is pale in colour and very subtle on the nose. This is the biodynamic way – the finesse creeps up on you. Small red berries and lifted perfume. This is a wine all about "Intensity, not density" as the brothers say. A wine you initially thought was a bit light-on ends up filling your mouth with perfume and unexpected intensity. Very lovely, it glides with translucent red fruit.

The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Bas-Liards comes from a small 0.25-hectare plot. It comes across quite gamy on the nose of slightly smudged but attractive red berry fruit laced with brown spices. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and modest weight. Quite sweet toward the finish, but it falls away rather quickly.
