Domaine Nicolas Rossignol

HIGH QUALITY DOMAINE FLYING UNDER THE RADAR

Nicolas Rossignol was born in 1974, the 5th generation of winegrowers in Volnay. After studing in high school of wine making in Beaune, Nicolas practises on different estates like Domaine Joseph Voillot in Volnay,  Domaine Louis Latour in Ardèche and Domaine du Vieux Telegraghe in Châteauneuf du Pape. In 1997, he created his own estate with 3 ha on the village of Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. The wines of the Nicolas Rossignol estate are produced using carefully sorted grapes from vineyards grown using traditional winemaking techniques inspired by biodynamics.

The vineyard is managed using reasoned viticulture methods, taking account of the lunar influence, both during cultivation and the production & elevage of the wine. No chemical herbicides are used. Soil maintenance is ensured through light ploughing. The harvesting is exclusively carried out by hand using tradition-based Burgundy wine-making techniques. Each bunch is placed by the grape gatherers into small 8kg boxes, thereby avoiding any further handling between the time they are picked and the time they are sorted. The harvested grapes are not “crushed”.
