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.

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.Inc. VAT£1,942.84 -
Vinous (92)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur 1er Cru is much more backward and introspective than Mortet's La Perrière. Yet, it is well defined and terroir-driven, crushed stones percolate through the red fruit. Understated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine grip, perhaps a little more extraction compared to its peers. Everything feels well balanced with a brisk and quite spicy, chewy finish. Very fine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.Inc. VAT£962.69 -
Vinous (94+)
The 2018 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru has an outstanding bouquet of vibrant black cherry and boysenberry fruit suffused with minerals. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit on the entry, maybe just a little closed after bottling at the moment, but demonstrating good grip and a strong marine influence on the finish. Give this 3–4 years in bottle.Inc. VAT£1,722.04
