Burgundy 2021 Supplement

REDBURGUNDY CÔTEDENUITS OSA: On Strict Allocation 12

DOMAINE ROSSIGNOL-TRAPET - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN We enjoyed a great tasting at the Domaine in the capable hands of Nicolas Rossignol. Nicolas is a thoughtful and considerate winemaker whose wines had such elegance and poise. This family estate of 13 hectares is really all about Gevrey, but they do have a little Beaune as well. Nicolas and his brother David took over from their father in 1990 and immediately began experimenting with compost rather than chemical sprays. They began biodynamic conversion in 1997, finishing in their Beaune plots in 2004. The majority of the Domaine’s vines are very old, and they are blessed with three Grand Crus: Chapelle, Latricières, and Chambertin. Grapes are handpicked andmanually sorted twice, thenundergo coolmaceration followed by a long fermentation. Their 2021s were ripe and complex, embellished by the vibrant acidity of the vintage. Textured and powerful they are a wonderful representation of top quality Gevrey. Highly recommended.
