WINE DESCRIPTION
Philippe Rossignol, discovered at the Grands Jours de Bourgogne in 2016, established his Gevrey-Chambertin domaine in the mid-1970s. Growing up amidst vineyards, he gradually amassed knowledge, adding premier cru vineyards in the 1990s. With 7 hectares and access to 10 more through en fermage, Rossignol, aided by his son Sylvain, produces wines across Gevrey-Chambertin, including premier cru, and neighboring Fixin. Manual harvesting, 100% destemming, and temperature-controlled fermentation precede oak aging. Producing about 20,000 bottles annually, Rossignol prioritizes top-tier quality, working diligently in every vineyard row alongside his team.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a true gem from the Gevrey-Chambertin region.Philippe Rossignol has crafted a masterpiece with his Vieilles Vignes cuvée. The term "Vieilles Vignes" translates to "old vines," indicating that the grapes used to make this wine come from mature vineyards, which often results in more concentrated and complex flavors.
On the nose, you can expect a symphony of aromas, including ripe red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with earthy notes of forest floor and subtle hints of spice.
On the palate, the wine showcases a harmonious balance between its fruitiness and its structure. The red fruit flavors persist, accompanied by velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. There is a lovely acidity that adds freshness and vibrancy to the wine, making it a pleasure to drink.
As for the finish, it is long and lingering, leaving you with a delightful aftertaste that invites you to take another sip.
