Domaine Nicolas Rossignol – Heritage & Precision

As a fifth-generation winemaker from Volnay, Nicolas Rossignol trained in Beaune and then gained experience in top estates across France and South Africa. He founded his own domaine in 1997 with 3 ha, then merged with the family estate in 2011. Now covering around 17 ha across 30 appellations, he is a reference for Côte de Beaune red wines.

Sensitive viticulture & winemaking

He practices reasoned farming with biodynamic influence: no herbicides, light ploughing, lunar-aligned work. Harvests are done by hand in small baskets with meticulous sorting. In the cellar, natural yeast ferments, gentle extraction methods (usually pump-over), and aging in oak (12–20 months, under 50% new) without fining, filtration or racking.

Wine style

Rossignol's wines are defined by silky textures, pure aromatics, and subtle intensity. Red fruit, light spice, dried florals, and precise structure led by saline freshness. They communicate a refined but clear interpretation of Burgundy’s Pinot Noir.

Signature cuvées

• Volnay 1er Cru “Santenots” — Generous elegance, floral nose, velvety tannins, saline finish.

• Volnay 1er Cru “Caillerets” — Precision, mineral delicacy, refined and lingering.

• Pommard 1er Cru “Épenots” — Structured power, firm tannins, deep energetic fruit.

• Savigny‑lès‑Beaune 1er Cru “Les Fourneaux” — Framed fruit and spice, silky texture, balanced tension.

• Bourgogne Aligoté & Chardonnay — Crisp, fresh whites expressing terroir purity.

Quiet acclaim

The domaine has quietly become a benchmark for modern Côte de Beaune excellence. Its wines are beloved by enthusiasts for balancing refinement, terroir-driven character, and forward-looking precision—all rooted in elegance.
