A family history rooted in Volnay

Located in Volnay, Burgundy, Domaine Nicolas Rossignol is the culmination of a long-standing family winemaking tradition. Nicolas Rossignol, representing the fifth generation of vintners, established his own estate in 1997 after enriching experiences in various vineyards, including those in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and South Africa. This diverse background has enhanced his expertise and refined his vision of viticulture and winemaking.

An exceptional terroir in the heart of the Côte de Beaune

The estate spans approximately 30 hectares across several prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune, such as Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, and Savigny-lès-Beaune. The vineyards, predominantly planted with Pinot Noir, benefit from clay-limestone soils and varied exposures, offering a rich and diverse array of terroirs. This mosaic allows each cuvée to fully express the unique characteristics of its origin.

Terroir-respectful viticulture

A strong advocate for sustainable viticulture, Nicolas Rossignol practices integrated farming, prioritizing manual interventions and limiting the use of chemicals. The soils are tilled to promote microbial life and deep root development. Harvesting is done manually, with meticulous grape selection, ensuring optimal quality for winemaking.

Precise winemaking for authentic wines

In the cellar, Nicolas Rossignol adopts a minimalist approach, respecting the natural rhythm of fermentations with indigenous yeasts. Macerations are tailored based on the characteristics of each vintage and parcel, allowing gentle extraction of tannins and aromas. Aging occurs in French oak barrels, with a judicious proportion of new wood chosen to enhance the wine without overshadowing the fruit. This attention to detail results in balanced wines that faithfully reflect their terroir of origin.

Signature cuvées acclaimed by critics

Among the estate's flagship wines, the Volnay Premier Cru "Caillerets" stands out for its finesse and elegance, with aromas of red fruits and flowers. The Pommard "Les Vignots" offers a more robust structure, featuring notes of dark fruits and spices. Each cuvée from Domaine Nicolas Rossignol embodies a deep commitment to quality and authenticity, consistently praised by critics and cherished by enthusiasts of fine Burgundy wines.
