Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Beaune 1er Cru 'Clos des Mouches' epitomizes excellence in Burgundy winemaking, crafted by Nicolas Rossignol, a fifth-generation vintner rooted in the traditions of Volnay. The vineyard, planted in the 1960s on a mid-slope, benefits from iron-rich red soils and alluvial pebbles, lending complexity to the wine. Nicolas employs biodynamic viticulture, integrating lunar cycles for both vineyard management and wine production, eschewing chemical herbicides in favor of sustainable soil practices like plowing. The grapes, rigorously sorted, undergo 100% destemming and ferment with indigenous yeasts, with gentle handling to preserve fruit purity. After 18 months in barrels, including 20% new oak, the wine emerges with a harmonious balance of fruit intensity and subtle oak influence. Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Beaune 1er Cru 'Clos des Mouches' showcases finesse, depth, and the distinct terroir of Beaune, representing the pinnacle of Rossignol's dedication to traditional and low-intervention winemaking practices.
