Domaine Rossignol Trapet, Beaune 1er Cru, Teurons, Burgundy, France, 2022

Producer Profile

The 14ha Domaine Rossignol-Trapet was created as recently as 1990 when the original Louis Trapet vineyard holdings were divided between his daughter and son-in-law, Jacques Rossignol.

Since then Jacques’ two sons, Nicolas and David, have gradually taken over the reins of the business, and the domaine has been certified 100% biodynamic since 2004. With vineyards spread equally across Village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru holdings in Gevrey Chambertin, the domaine offers a fascinating insight into the sheer variety of flavours that this famous Burgundy village can muster. They prefer to harvest later and use less new oak, as their aim is to achieve fruit ripeness rather than oak dominance. Purity of fruit and freshness are the hallmarks here.

Viticulture

This is produced from ten different parcels in the village and the average age of the vines is around 65 years old.

Tasting Note

Red fruit aromas of strawberry and cherry, the palate has incredible balance and tension.

Food Matching

Mushroom linguine, cheeses, particularly goat's cheese and Citeaux , game birds like pheasant or partridge.
