Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2020 Domaine Rossignol Trapet 75cl

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
Family owned: 4 ha
Cultivation method: vines grown biodynamically certified DEMETER by ECOCERT.

Gevrey-Chambertin is the largest red wine village in the Côte d'Or with its 550 ha of vines in total.

The word Gevrey comes from “Gibriacus” which means goat guardian because of its dry and arid lands where classic crops could not grow.

Only goat breeding allowed the inhabitants to live. These lands were the favorite place for vines in the first century AD.

The word Chambertin, the most famous soil of the village, was attached to Gevrey in 1847. Gevrey-Chambertin was the first village that used this feature.

The parcels grouped in the Vieilles Vignes cuvée of Gevrey-Chambertin come from three different situations:

– The vines furthest north of the village at places called “En Combe” and “Clos de Combe” are quite deep and clayey plots, on a regular slope, which produce sappy, dense and robust wines.

– The plots further east and closer to the estate, at places called Les Crais, Justice, Grandes Raies, are made up of colluvium from the Combe de Lavaux which overlooks Gevrey-Chambertin. These soils, very gently sloping, gravelly and very filtering, produce wines of finesse and elegance.

– The vines located to the south of Gevrey-Chambertin (at places called “Clos de l'Arche”, “Fourneaux”, “Croix des Champs”) are on fairly loamy soil and on limestone bedrock. They produce wines with great complexity and great aromatic power.

The blending and bottling of the wines come from these different terroirs, with vines whose average age is around 50 years, resulting in a single vintage of Gevrey-Chambertin at the Domaine.

Each plot brings its qualities to the entire vintage.

SAINT GEORGE NIGHTS AT HERBUES JEAN PIERRE GUYON 2018

The DOMAINE GUYON scea is located in the town of Vosne Romanée.

The estate has been geared towards organic viticulture since the 2000s. To provide transparency in viticulture and winemaking techniques, the estate entered into an Ecocert accreditation process in 2009 and obtained accreditation in 2012 .

The family estate was born before the war, his grandfather and his father successively and wisely led it until his brother and himself took charge of it in the 1990s. The man knows each of his vines, often very old, on the end of his secateurs. Jean pierre guyon took over the operation on his own.

His ambition is to return to what he considers the old way of doing things: that is to say winemaking with most of the whole bunches; no addition of sulfur, if possible, until the spring following harvest.

Entonnage after pressing and brief passage in vat. Slow vinification according to the temperatures of the seasons.

POMMARD FREDERIC LEPRINCE 2019

After a scientific training in biology, his winegrowing history begins with the chance of encounters, according to the internships and the various jobs he has held. Frédéric LEPRINCE knew that one day he would have a business of his own, but first he had to learn, discover, observe and do.

For about twenty years, he discovered all the facets of the profession. Vineyard work in Beaujolais vintages, the art of Bordeaux blend, purchase of grapes and vinification from great terroirs in Burgundy ... all these moments will be decisive in that each will bring their stone to their House, step by step.

Still marked by their spirit and their know-how, here are some decisive meetings of its first life.

Fixin Crais de Chêne René Bouvier 2019 Jéroboam

Winemaker at Gevrey Chambertin

Domaine René Bouvier is a family home created in 1910 by the grandfather of Bernard Bouvier, current master on board with his wife. The farm counts 13 hectares in pinot noirand 4 in chardonnay for a total of 18 appellations in Burgundy, Côtes-de-Nuits-Villages, Fixin, Marsannay et Gevrey-Chambertin, including Premiers and Grands Crus.

The vineyard is conducted in sustainable agriculture and is converted to organic farming, with tillage, disbudding, harvesting in green, harvest and manual sorting. In 2006, the estate has inaugurated a new winery of 1 200 m², the care given to winemaking and breeding making it a safe bet in the Burgundy.

When you ask Bernard Bouvier what a good wine is, he replies that "it is a wine that makes your mouth water, that makes you want to finish the bottle you have uncorked". Far from marketing, he prefers to evoke the expression of vintages and terroirs, and rejects a certain standardization of wines. This search for quality combined with respect for the terroir defines the Bouvier touch: round and powerful wines with perfectly tamed tannins.
