Domaine Nicolas Rossignol, Pommard Les Noizons, Burgundy, France, 2017

Producer Profile

A fifth-generation Burgundian vigneron, born in 1974 in Volnay.

Nicolas Rossignol started working on the family estate of Rossignol-Jeanniard in 1994 and has since held winemaking roles at estates of the likes of Domaine Joseph Voillot, Louis Latour, Vieux Télégraphe (Châteauneuf-du-Pape), Boschendal (South Africa), and Château La Cardonne (Lafite-Rothschild). In 1997 he launched his own domaine with around 3ha in Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Aloxe-Corton and Pernand-Vergelesse. Over the next 15-20 years, he expanded to approaching 20ha across 30 appellations, including multiple Premier Crus. In summary, Nicolas Rossignol blends both heritage and modern winemaking, combining traditional Burgundian practices with biodynamic principles and meticulous cellar work. His wines showcase clarity, balance and a strong sense of place across a wide range of Burgundian appellations.

Viticulture

Pommard Les Noizons is north of the hill of Pommard, facing Beaune, above Argillières and Epenots and faces directly south. The slope is gentle and the soils a deep red colour as expected in Pommard. The vines cover several plots aged between 15 and 75 years.

Tasting Note

A lovely rich, full bodied wine, the well rounded and ripe tannins support the cherry, cranberry, raspberry and spice notes ensuring the finish is silky smooth. Fresh, but powerful with a hint of hedgerow and liquorice.

Food Matching

You cannot go wrong with big flavours. Venison, beef bourguignon and grilled steak.
