Nicolas Rossignol is a Burgundy producer based in Volnay, one of the most respected red wine villages in the Côte de Beaune. The domaine focuses exclusively on Pinot Noir, working within the structured appellation system that defines Burgundy's hierarchy of village, premier cru, and grand cru vineyards.

Volnay is renowned for producing some of Burgundy's most elegant and refined Pinot Noir wines. The village's limestone-rich soils and favorable exposure create wines that are typically lighter in body than neighboring Pommard, yet possess remarkable complexity and aging potential. The premier cru vineyards of Volnay, including Les Santenots, are particularly prized for their ability to express both power and finesse in the same wine.

The current range includes Volnay Santenots Premier Cru, sourced from one of the village's most distinguished vineyard sites. Les Santenots lies on the border with Meursault and is known for producing Pinot Noir with distinctive mineral precision and notable longevity.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
