Rossignol Sip & Cellar Pack
We are so excited to introduce you to Nicolas Rossignol’s wines! This is the first time that these wines have been to Alberta. Rossignol is a 5th generation winemaker in Volnay. His studies have taken him around France and beyond, working with the likes of one of our favourite Burgundy producers Joseph Voillot. Rossignol took over his family’s winery in 1994 and currently his estate covers 17 ha around Burgundy, in Beaune, Pommard, Savigny Lès Beaune and Volnay. His wines are made with carefully selected grapes grown in biodynamic and chemical herbicide free vineyards.
This pack consists of 3 vintages of 1er Cru wines from Santenots in Volnay. In general this vineyard produces wines that are richer than your typical perfumed Volnay. Nicholas describes these wines like Volnay with Cote de Nuit DNA. He owns two distinct plots in the Santenots vineyard, one with 20 year old vines with big rocky soils and the other 60 year old vines with clay soils bordering Meursault. The soils are rich in iron, making them a deep red. Each vintage is distinct but share characteristics of being bold and age-worthy. With two of each vintage in the pack you can drink one now and hold the other. This pack is an excellent way to grow your cellar and get introduced to Rossignol.
Nicolas Rossignol 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots- Burgundy, France $224.85
The 2018 vintage is exceptionally rich and overtly powerful with large scaled flavours which possess an excellent density. Expect notes of red currant, black cherry, spice, earth and something wild. Lay down this muscular, firm wine for at least another decade. Can’t wait that long, decant it in the morning and enjoy it with a rich ribeye in the evening.
Nicolas Rossignol 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots- Burgundy, France $224.85
2019 was a hot and dry vintage in Burgundy, meaning this vintage is firm and powerful. You can expect very ripe aromas of cassis, blackberry liqueur, violet and anise. There is a very fine backbone of acidity throughout the wine but it is marked with a smooth, rich finish. Buy this wine and forget about it until 2029.
Nicolas Rossignol 2021 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots- Burgundy, France $259.85
This wine is dense, intense and gamey. Despite those rich notes, true to the 2021 vintage this wine manages to be elegant and fresh. Hold for 10+ years or enjoy with a long decant at a cooler temperature.
