2012 | Domaine Nicolas Rossignol | Volnay Santenots 1er cru

Very ripe but aromatic on the nose, with plum and chocolate scents lifted by a hint of flowers.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: The 2012 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots comes from the lower part of the climat and is totally de-stemmed. It seems to have a higher proportion of red fruit than the Ronceret with a more conspicuous floral component. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy ripe tannins. Again, there is more red, earthy fruit here than Ronceret with a long, tightly wound, laconic finish that will come out of its shell once in bottle.

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.
