Savigny-les-Beaune 1er cru les Lavières - 2020

"Nicolas Rossignol offers us a series of wines in hymn to pinot noir, refined and sensual. Unnecessary power is always avoided to let only the delicacy of the flavours express themselves, the only power that transpires is that of the terroir but intensity is the red thread of the estate. He is certainly one of the most promising talents of his generation in the Côte de Beaune, with a gift for tasting that allows him to refine and affirm his style with each new vintage on a wide range of excellent terroirs. This is as close as we can get to the pinnacle of the Côte de Beaune." 2015 Wine Guide, Bettane et Desseauve

Nicolas Rossignol, born in 1974, represents the 5th generation of winemakers on the Volnay terroirs. He has been vinifying since 1994 at Domaine ROSSIGNOL-JEANNIARD, then created his own estate thus perpetuating the family tradition, while bringing a new approach to the terroirs of the estate.

After a complete technical training acquired at the viticultural high school in Beaune, Nicolas put his knowledge into practice during various internships, at the Domaine Joseph Voillot in Volnay, at the Domaine Louis Latour in Ardèche as well as at the Domaine du vieux Télégraphe in Châteauneuf du Pape.

The "Domaine Nicolas Rossignol" wines are made from a rigorous selection of grapes from vines grown according to traditional viticulture techniques inspired by biodynamics. The vineyard is managed using sustainable viticulture and also takes into account the influence of the moon both for the work of the vine and for the elaboration and maturation of the wines. No chemical weedkillers are used: only ploughing is used to maintain the soil.
