WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Pommard 1er Cru 'Les Épenots' epitomizes excellence from one of Volnay's esteemed winemaking families. Nicolas Rossignol, a fifth generation vigneron, meticulously manages the vineyards cultivated under biodynamic principles. The 'Les Épenots' Premier Cru, characterized by marl-limestone soils, benefits from a gentle east-facing slope that enhances sun exposure. Divided into distinct parcels like 'Grands Epenots' and 'Clos des Epeneaux,' this premier cru Pommard derives from clay-rich, moisture-retentive soils at the base of the hill, ensuring a structured, terroir-driven wine. Nicolas Rossignol's approach extends to lunar influences in vineyard management and winemaking, emphasizing low intervetion practices without chemical herbicides. Since 1994, he has upheld the family tradition of crafting wines that balance power with elegance, showcasing ripe red fruit flavors, robust tannins, and a lingering finish. Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Pommard 1er Cru 'Les Épenots' stands as a testament to the legacy and expertise of its winemaker and the exceptional terroir of Pommard.
