Tasting notes
There is plenty of lively red cherries, cassis and dried rose petals on the nose of the Gevrey ’09 from Rossignol-Trapet that is beginning to approach its drinking plateau. The palate is fleshy and generous on the opening with fine tannins and bright red currant and red cherry fruit as clean as a whistle on the finish. There is just a faint hint of ginger on the lingering aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted May 2013.

The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is another of the more open, accessible wines in this lineup. This isn't the last word in complexity, but the wine has the density and length to drink beautifully for a number of years. The Vieilles Vignes is made from three parcels with an average age of 40+ years.
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is another of the more open, accessible wines in this lineup. This isn’t the last word in complexity, but the wine has the density and length to drink beautifully for a number of years. The Vieilles Vignes is made from three parcels with an average age of 40+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021. David and Nicolas Rossignol began harvesting on September 12th. They used a fair amount of whole clusters, ranging from 33% or so for the 1ers up to 50% for the Grand Crus. The wines saw 14-21 days of cuvaison. After debourbage, the wines were racked into oak, roughly 15% new barrels for the villages, 33% for the 1ers and 50% for the Grand Crus. The malos were early and quick, and the wines were bottled between January and March 2011. A Becky Wasserman Selection, Le Serbet, Beaune, FR; tel. +33 (380) – 262 060
Fine pure cherry fruit. Succulent, scented and delicately long. Fresh, dry, fine-grained finish. (JH)
