From a site at the foot of the Beaune hillside on the Pommard side, Rossignol’s Reversées reveals a dark bouquet of cassis, bilberry and other ripe black fruits. It's a concentrated and vibrant wine with a firm core of crunchy fruit and rich but chalky tannins. This is more taut and angular than the 2015 rendition and will need some time.

Nicolas Rossignol is a new-generation Burgundian winemaker and a star of the village of Volnay, producing wines from his own and his family’s vineyards in the Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune appellations. He began his career in 1994 at the family estate, after gaining experience in prestigious wineries in Burgundy, the Rhône Valley (Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe), Bordeaux, and Stellenbosch in South Africa. This diverse background has shaped Nicolas’ unique winemaking approach.
The winemaker produces around 30 different wines and says: “By making more wines, we learn faster – experience gained in creating one wine can enrich another.” His main focus is on Volnay and Pommard, offering a rare opportunity to taste and compare as many as 8–9 different terroirs from these appellations. He also produces wines from Beaune, while his flagship cuvée Héritière comes from a ‘Pinot Noir’ vineyard planted in 1922 near Pommard, where low-yielding old vines offer exceptional expression.
According to Rossignol, Volnay and Pommard differ in terroir: Volnay lies on a sunny slope, giving softer, rounder tannins, while Pommard, located on a former riverbed with a valley behind the village, produces more structured, expressive tannins.
At the estate, biodynamic principles are followed, guided by the lunar calendar, with gravity-flow operations in the winery and meticulous grape selection.

Aging and Drinking Window
The wines are fermented with native yeasts and aged in oak barrels (with the proportion of new oak carefully controlled to preserve fruit purity). The aging period depends on the terroir and style, usually from 12 to 18 months.
Nicolas Rossignol wines are enjoyable both in their youth and after maturing for 8–12 years, with the best examples aging gracefully for even longer.
