Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Volnay, Cote de Beaune, France 2022

A 5th generation winemaker in his family, Nicolas Rossignol is a perfect example of how a newer generation of vintners in Burgundy have brought tradition and knowledge from the past into the future. To better understand vinification after his studies, he worked at various wineries you may have heard of such as Louis Latour, Vieux Telegraphe, and and Chateau Cardonne, as well as Domaine Boschendal in South Africa. He returned to Burgundy in 1994 and now produces exceptionally beautiful wines in Volnay and Pommard by balancing the elegance and power of all his different vineyards.
