Pinot Noir Blind Tasting #3. Dusty and closed aroma. Sophisticated, and I am confused. Red flowers and cloves. Well balanced, but acidity is a little bit aggressive. Feels overly young. So I wonder, how much potential does it hold? I want to know answer. Obviously, Burgundy. Guess is based on dusty and sophisticated nose.

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet was established through the alliance of two families. The Rossignols were winemakers since the 16th century in Volnay. The Trapets - since the 18th century in Gevrey-Chambertin. Domaine owns 14 ha of old vineyards in the renowned villages of Beaune, Savigny-les-Beaune and Gevrey-Chambertin. Most of them are Pinot Noir, and only 0.7 ha are Chardonnay.

Nicolas and David Rossignol have been running the Domaine since the 1990s. They produce sophisticated, gorgeous and elegant wines.
