* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark plums and acidity pair together in this well-made, fresh wine. Rossignol-Trapet owns vines only just the wrong side of the tracks in Gevrey-Chambertin from which this wine is made. It is firm, tannic but with plenty of fruit.

Smooth and full-bodied, this wine shows power and tannin under a silky surface. There are rich, ripe flavors of perfumed black fruits, acidity and wood leading to a finish of juicy red fruits and herbs.

Initially austere, with dry tannins, this wine then opens up spectacularly. There are aromas of new wood and red fruits; the palate is treated to a rich, rolling velvet texture overlain with berry fruits, sweet acidity and a delicious, open, juicy finish. It will be even better in 5–10 years, but works well now.

Dense structure is the hallmark of this wine from the premier cru, which is downslope from La Chapelle Grand Cru. Despite the weighty tannins, this is delicate, with a silky feel edging its way in. Expect it to mature over the next 3–4 years.

The domaine of Rossignol-Trapet is relatively new, started in 1990 in Gevrey-Chambertin, but both families have been producing wine for generations. Their village Gevrey-Chambertin shows considerable amounts of wood and spice flavors, some acidity and quite tight red fruits.
