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.

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.
