WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking for Domaine Rossignol-Trapet's Chambertin Grand Cru focuses on purity and terroir expression. The domaine employs biodynamic viticultural practices, with vineyards managed to foster natural balance. Harvest typically begins in late September. Vinification involves a percentage of whole-bunch fermentation, with gentle extraction techniques used to maintain delicate texture. The wine is then aged in barrels, a portion of which are new oak, for an extended period. The wines are traditionally not fined or filtered before bottling, preserving their natural character.
