Rossignol-Trapet
Created through the marriage of Jacques Rossignol and Mado Trapet, since 1990 the estate has been managed by sons Nicolas and David who quickly moved it to biodynamic farming. Their technique of only racking when necessary produces wines that clearly express their excellent Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards.

Vinous (89-92)Good full red. Darker but less perfumed on the nose than the Latricières, offering aromas of black raspberry and licorice complicated by smoke and cocoa powder and perked up by peppery spices. Silky-sweet in the mouth; clearly the plushest and densest of these 2014s to this point. There's more mid-palate stuffing here to support the slightly dusty, late-arriving tannins. This is always a dense wine, notes David Rossignol--closer to Chambertin in style than to Griottes, for example. |

Wine Advocate (90-92)The 2015 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a delightful bouquet with generous raspberry and wild strawberry aromas, very floral and exuberant with wilted violet scents and iris emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp acidity and fine cohesion. This is nicely focused, although it just needs a little more substance to seal the deal on the finish. It just tapers in a little early and leaves you wanting more. Hopefully that will be addressed with bottle age. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2017 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from two plots, apparently from 2019 the domaine plans two separate cuvées, one from the lieu-dit of Les Gemeaux. It has an understated, beautifully defined bouquet that gradually unfurls in the glass: brambly red berry fruit, autumn leaves and hints of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. This is born with a pitch perfect line of acidity that imparts an engaging sense of harmony, very pure with a dash of spice on the finish. Superb. |

Vinous (95)The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a more feminine and elegant bouquet than the Latricières, offering pure red berry fruit, pressed rose petals and light sous-bois notes, all very precise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a superb line of acidity, good cohesion and more precision than the Latricières toward the wonderfully persistent finish. This should age with style. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93)The 2021 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru has a slightly bricking hue, presumably due to whole bunch addition. The nose delivers on that, overtly stemmy to the point that it masks the red berry fruit and used tea leaf scents behind it. Thankfully, they do seem to be assimilated with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, again quite stemmy and brittle. There is plenty of freshness here but if you don't like whole cluster Burgundy, avoid. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-92)Mid purple, the bouquet perhaps a fraction less than fresh though just taken. There is clearly more volume here of a dark fruit with some blueberry, a few more tannins, more solid than the regular village wine. Needs freshening up at which point should merit a higher score. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024. |

Burghound (89-91)A completely different nose is brooding and exceptionally earthy with both red and dark berry aromas that are cut with floral top notes. The sleek and tautly muscular flavors possess notably more weight and drive while being shaped by much firmer tannins on the youthfully austere finale. At least some patience will be required. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)A light crimson ruby colour. The nose is quite refined as well, with a fresh crunchy red fruit, not too much body but more of a linear intensity, and certainly very persistent. Very well balanced. Drink from 2028-2034. |

Burghound (90-92)(from vines at the top of the vineyard in an old quarry). A discreet but perceptible application of wood and menthol nuances frame the liqueur-like dark berry and spice aromas. There is both good volume and vibrancy to the caressing medium weight flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the stony, youthfully austere and moderately firm finish. Very good quality here. |

Vinous (92+)Good full red. Complex nose melds wild raspberry, tobacco and earth. Suave and fine-grained but youthfully subdued, with ripe balancing acidity giving the broad red fruit and soil flavors a sappy quality and very good snap. Best today on the rising finish, where the tannins are firm but fine and arrive late. A powerful wine but not hard. |

Wine Advocate (95)Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune, the 2011 Chambertin has a pure bouquet with wild strawberry, cranberry, animal fur and strong sous-bois aromas that are nicely defined, but lend it a feral quality that is intriguing. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp filigree tannins. This is tensile and focused with a sense of energy and poise that revs up on the gorgeous finish and leaves you crying for more. This is a great success for the domaine and is utterly sublime. |

Wine Advocate (92)Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru is deeper in color than its peers. There is a slight reduction here but underneath lies some very fine raspberry and black plum fruit, though it needs to demonstrate more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin and then it seems to run out of ideas towards the finish and finishes a little uninspired. Hmm ... this is a Chambertin outclassed by some of Rossignol-Trapet's less revered crus at the moment. Though it remains a very fine 2013, it falls short of how I expected it to perform given its splendid showing in barrel. Tasted September 2016. |

Vinous (96)The 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very traditional, well-defined and somehow noble bouquet evidencing some stem addition that is complementary to the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This does not have the spellbinding precision of Rousseau's Chambertin tasted alongside, but depth, grit, spiciness and impressive structure render the finish utterly compelling. Cellar this for at least another decade; it will surely be worth the wait. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (98)There is just a medium depth of purple to the colour, but what a glorious nose! This really has it all without undue power. There is a correct veneer of new oak, and all the nuance that you could possibly want. The faintest flicker of a reductive note emerges, but the fruit is so exquisite that assuming the issue is just a temporary touch of reduction, we can look forward to something magical later on. The aftertaste is really lovely. Drink from 2032. |

Vinous (98)The 2019 Chambertin Grand Cru offers plenty of fruit concentration on the nose—raspberry, wild strawberry and cranberry—and a touch of Earl Grey and crushed stone. This is complex and so engaging. The palate is medium-bodied, with finely-chiseled tannins and extremely pure red fruit. Citrus-fresh, with a hint of blood orange and yuzu, and almost symmetrical finish that lingers long in the mouth, this is outstanding. Easily one of the best wines that I have tasted from Rossignol-Trapet. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)Mid crimson. Nothing in the colour tells you it is a great wine. The nose – ah now it is getting more interesting a mixture of the extra depth and the suggestion of complexity to be discovered. Little red fruits, with precision, some floral notes too. While in the mouth the smiles come readily to my face. The 2021 Chambertin is not the equal of the truly astonishing 2020 but they have made a very good job in a supple, subtle style, with the dainty little red fruits which continue. An assemblage des nuances. Drink from 2029-2038. |
