Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, Gift Box

This product comes with a free gift box

A lovely, lifted, poised nose, leads on to the middle, where one sees the power of the vintage, though perhaps more persistence than power. There is a beautiful crunchy finish to the fruit.

Quantities were down a further 15% on the previous two vintages. However Nicolas Rossignol reports that there were no problems in vinification, and they have added a further refinement this year with a new state-of-theart de-stemmer, which leaves the individual berries whole as it takes them off their stems. Given the natural concentration of the fruit in 2012, there was no need to seek much extraction. Once again this domaine offers superb quality at reasonable prices.
