Description

The village of Gevrey-Chambertin sits in the north of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. This is Burgundy’s largest wine-producing village, though it is noted more for its quality than quantity: there are nine Grand Cru vineyards here, along with 26 Premiers Crus. Gevrey-Chambertin produces exclusively red wines from Pinot Noir. It is home to some of Burgundy’s most celebrated names, including Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, who we are proud to work with for our Own Selection bottling.

Tasting note

Our Gevrey-Chambertin has once again been made for us by Domaine Rossignol-Trapet. Their venerable old vines cover all areas of Gevrey-Chambertin, giving a rich picture of the appellation. The warm and sunny 2019 vintage has given a spicy, dark-fruited expression of the village with silky tannins and an irresistible floral perfume. This is an ideal partner to ripe cheeses or tagine.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Gevrey-Chambertin

Gevrey-Chambertin

Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest wine-producing village in Burgundy’s Côte d'Or. Located in the far north of the Côtes de Nuits, the classic style is typically deeper in colour, firmer in body and more tannic in structure than most red Burgundy. While in the past there have been myriad underperformers here, the overall quality is now higher than ever and the best can develop into the most complete and long-lived Pinot Noir in the world.

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet

Brothers Nicolas and David Rossignol have run this domaine, created by the marriage of their parents, since 1990. The range offers a fine overview of Gevrey-Chambertin terroir, capped by their three, very contrasting, Grands Crus. The Chambertin stands supreme, but a preference between Latricières and La Chapelle varies from year to year. In the vineyard The brothers began their move towards biodynamics in ’97 in their Chapelle-Chambertin vineyard; the whole domaine was converted by 2004. They value that status deeply; the work required in ’18 to combat the pervasive mildew was a true labour of love, with endless applications – by hand – of horsetail teas. In the winery Over the years, their style has defined itself: these are now relatively delicate wines, lightly extracted so never deep in colour, but built around subtle textures. Aromatics are further enhanced using about 50% whole bunches, depending on the year.
