Domaine Rossignol-Trapet was founded in 1990 by brothers Nicolas and David Rossignol, bringing together two Burgundy lineages: their father Jacques Rossignol in Volnay and their mother Mado Trapet’s family holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin.
The domaine began experimenting with biodynamics in 1997 and converted fully in 2004. Today, all vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, with a focus on soil health and vine balance. In the winery, around 50% whole-bunch fermentation is typical (depending on the vintage), and oak use is measured: roughly 20% new barrels for village wines, rising to as much as 55% for Chambertin, ensuring structure without overwhelming the fruit.
The estate holds 1.6 hectares in Chambertin Grand Cru, one of Burgundy’s most celebrated vineyards, making Rossignol-Trapet the fourth-largest landowner there.
