Wine Region: Burgundy - France
Grape: Pinot Noir
Tasting notes: "From a clay-rich site at the bottom of the climat, Rossignol's 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Mitans—only the second rendition of this new cuvee—mingles aromas of petals, berries, plums and spices in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, supple and gourmand, with a fleshy core of fruit, powdery tannins and a generous, gourmand profile, it's showing well." - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
About the winery:
Part of the fifth generation, Nicolas joined the family estate in 1994. After a few experiences in the four corners of France and South Africa, he created his own Domaine in 1997. Today, both Domaines are merged, representing 17 hectares and more than thirty appellations. Nicolas believes that the future of wine lies in innovation rather than sticking to the rules of the past. The vineyard is managed sustainably and also takes into account the lunar influence both for the work of the vine and for the development and ageing of the wines.
