Story
Domaine Rossignol-Trapet
Gevrey-Chambertin · Burgundy · France
The Rossignols, viticulturists in Volnay since the 16th century and the Trapets, whose winemaking origin in Gevrey-Chambertin dates back to the 18th century, united by the marriage of Jacques Rossignol and Mado Trapet. The result was the domaine Rossignol-Trapet. Nicolas and David, the two sons, have been managing the estate since 1990, which extend over the villages of Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and of course Gevrey-Chambertin. The vineyard management and vinification are carried out with precision, as evidenced by the transition to biodynamic farming in recent years (2008 being the first certified organic vintage).
“Today, faithful to tradition and aided by new technical and biological practices, David and Nicolas continue their efforts to produce elegant wines each year.”
For example, they experiment with the proportion of new barrels according to the vintage, to capture in the best way the finesse of Pinot Noir. With its exceptional terroir-driven wines meant for ageing, Rossignol-Trapet has established itself as a leading estate in Gevrey-Chambertin.
