94 / 100"The Combottes from Rossignol-Trapet is a superb value. With its lovely ripe black cherry fruit, subtle, earthy complexity on the nose, and elegant but firm structure, it is more powerful than the premier crus in the stable and should hold up to ageing almost as long as the grands crus. Its only defect is that the parcel, at 0.15 hectares, is small. It is partly destemmed and fermented on native yeasts before ageing in cask (25% new) over two winters."

Tasting Notes
Brothers David and Nicolas Rossignol run this 100% Organic and Biodynamically farmed Domaine located in the very heart of Gevrey Chambertin. Very early to the Sustainable farming movement, all the family's vineyards, located in some of the most impressive vineyards in Burgundy, were converted to Certified Organic in 2004.
This plot used to produce Chanvre, otherwise known as Chenevrière, and Cherbaude comes from the name of the Chanvre bouquets that were picked at the time. Located on a fractured rock and volcanic plates, its roots run deep into well-drained soil. This Cherbaudes has a bright, ruby colour with fiery shades. Its nose brings an aromatic complexity with floral and herbaceous hints which blend well with its fruity and mineral notes. It has a charming palate with a supple and structured texture. A wine that deserves to be savoured and shared!
