2009 | Domaine Nicolas Rossignol | Les Fremiers (Magnum)

Delicate and impressive depth on the nose. The finish is quite unique, rich and long lasting.

Producer Information

Domaine Nicolas Rossignol is a wine producer based in the village of Volnay in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune subregion. The estate covers 17 hectares (42 acres) of vineyards, predominantly Pinot Noir, forming the basis of its extensive portfolio of premier cru wines from climats across Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses. Domaine Nicolas Rossignol also produces a single Chardonnay from vines in Pernand-Vergelesses. The estate's founder, Nicolas Rossignol, is descended from a long line of Volnay winegrowers and initially learnt his craft on the family estate, Domaine Rossignol-Jeanniard. He went on to establish his own domaine in 1997, acquiring three hectares (seven acres) of vines in the villages of Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesses. For decades, Rossignol produced both Rossignol-Jeanniard and his own label wines at the Rossignol-Jeanniard domaine at the western end of Volnay village. Today, all production has moved to a modern facility on the southern outskirts of Beaune. Over the next few years, the domaine grew substantially with acquisitions and holdings in the premier cru climats of Aux Fourneaux and Les Lavières in Savigny-les-Beaune, Clos du Roi in Beaune and the famous Épenots vineyard in Pommard. Much of Rossignol's fruit is sourced through share-cropping agreements and négociant contracts. The vineyards are managed using the "lutte raisonnée" approach ("reasoned struggle") which involves cultivating vines and producing wines in accordance with the lunar calendar and without the use of synthetic chemicals. Harvest is carried out by hand and, depending on the grape variety and cru, the bunches are either destemmed or kept whole for vinification. Natural yeasts are used for the six- to eight-day fermentation period that precludes aging. The wines age on their lees in oak barrels for 10-20 months without racking – the type of oak and percentage of new oak used will vary according to the vintage and terroir. Once the aging process is complete, the wines are bottled without fining or filtration. In addition to its premier crus, Domaine Nicolas Rossignol also produces a range of village and regional-level wines.
