Domaine Rossignol-Trapet Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022

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 Organic in 2004.

The domaine’s Chapelle-Chambertin comes from two parcels – En la Chapelle (planted in the 1960s) and Les Gémeaux (planted in 1924). Both are warm sites, directly below Clos de Bèze, with a mere 50 centimetres of soil above the rock. These tend to be slightly earlier-ripening than the other grands crus. The soil consists of layers of rock, with holes into which the roots can penetrate.The warmer soils here tend to make for a more opulent wine. In 2022, there is certainly more red berry fruit compared to Latricières but, when tasted in October 2023, this was easier to access and more immediate – a disarmingly pretty, yet dense wine. Two thirds whole-bunch vinification, with 40% new oak.
