Nicolas Rossignol property is the 5th generation of family winegrowers in the Volnay appellation of Burgundy. He trained within various estates and has been in charge of winemaking at Domaine Rossignol-Jeanniard since 1994. Nicolas Rossignol created his eponymous estate in 1997 and sources fruit from the appellations of Volnay , Pommard , Beaune , Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. In 2011, the two domains Rossignol-Jeanniard and Nicolas Rossignol merged under the name of Domaine Nicolas Rossignol. Covering an area of 30 hectares spread over 30 appellations, the vineyard is cultivated in a traditional way, in reasoned pest management, and according to methods inspired by biodynamics.
Method
The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted. After selection, the red grapes are mostly destemmed before going into temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for the primary alcoholic fermentation. Depending on the quality of the vintage, a very fine harvest will see some whole clusters added to the vats for structure and complexity in the finished wine. Fermentation proceeds slowly in the cold cellar, and the tannic structure is managed by frequent tastings and occasional pigeage (punching down of the cap of skins and seeds) rather than pumping over. After the alcoholic fermentation and a total 18 to 24 day maceration of grape skins and wine, the wine is transferred to into barrels, 20% new oak, where it it ages between 10 and 15 months before bottling. Bottled without filtration.
