Domaine Rossignol Trapet
Petite Chapelle Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Really? 2004? This is one seriously well crafted wine from a vintage which is generally disappointing. Structure and finesse paired with pure red fruits and integrated, gently toasty oak has created a beautiful, lengthy red Burgundy wine. Still not ready. 93+

Oct 22nd, 2016Une autre belle bouteille de ce beau premier cru, un fruit énergique, éclatant, épicé, terreux légèrement et avec des tannins ayant de la poigne mais aussi une belle fraîcheur et longueur fort appréciable. 92-93
Another great bottle if this nice “premier”, fresh, energetic and gorgeous fruit, spicy, slightly earthy and with a medium plus bodied palate and tannins, good length as well.

Vibrant aromas of red cherries and dark cherries, a touch of Coca-Cola which I always associate to cherries and the “élevage”, spices and some earthy tones too. The palate is great, fresh, fairly powerful, the fruit has energy and the strong finish is delicious and has very good length. Serious stuff, good now and built for the long haul. 93-94
Un nez moyennement aromatique au départ mais qui s’ouvre de façon éclatante sur des griottes, du coca-cola un peu, des épices douces et un petit côté terreux. La bouche est puissante et fine, une belle texture de tannins qui accompagne ce fruit énergique, belle fraîcheur et finesse aussi avec une finale puissante, de belle longueur et délicieuse. Du sérieux, bâti pour longtemps mais un délice en ce moment aussi. 92-93

#burgundytasting Mesmerizing floral nose but but the palate didn’t quite match.

Nov 4th, 2018Single varietal big big pinot noir, needs a lot of time to open up. Dark fruits. Very aromatic.

May 25th, 2017Simply one of the best Pinot I've ever had. Incredibly this 2001 vintage survived 14 years or more with brilliant bouquet and delicate rosy flavor.
