Rossignol-Trapet Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle 2015

The Rossignol brothers have finally been recognised for the many years in which they have upgraded the vineyards of this branch of the Trapet family and developed their own style in the cellar after much experimentation. On the one hand, this style preserves the flavour of Gevrey, which is always a little wilder than Vosne-Romanee or Chambolle-Musigny, its structure and body. On the other hand, Rossignol-Trapet wines are by no means highly extracted, but rather fine and polished.

Of the estate's Premier Crus, the Petite-Chapelle has more structure and comes closer to the Grand Crus than the Combottes and Cherbaudes. Unfortunately, prices have risen so much with the success that we no longer buy the current vintages.

Nicolas and David Rossignol come from a traditional winemaking family from Volnay. In 1990, the two brothers married the two daughters of Louis Trapet from Gevrey-Chambertin. As a result of this double wedding, Louis Trapet's vineyard was divided up: One part went to his son Jean-Louis Trapet, who continued to run it under the name Domaine Trapet Père et Fils. The two daughters took over their share together with their husbands and founded the independent wine estate Domaine Rossignol-Trapet.
