Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The wine is really elegant, delicate, and almost ethereal. Floral and mineral notes on the palate with silky tannins. Beautiful aromatic body. Developing length and complexity as it sits in the mouth.

    Peat, blond tobacco, and stewed rhubarb are the key notes of Rossignol’s 2007 Volnay Caillerets, which offers generous, quite bright fruit character and polished texture, a dusting of white pepper and chalk adding to the invigoration of a finish I might have taken, blind, for that of a 2008.

    2007 Volnay Caillerets Now 36, Nicolas Rossignol is the fifth generation of his family to farm vines in Volnay; he started to assemble his own domaine in 1997. This wine is more earthy than fruity, though it doesn't lack in tart cherry length. The complexity rests in forest floor hints of mushrooms and fresh scents of rose. There's a gentle tremor of tannin in the finish, opening to earth.

“Now, this is a winemaker who deserves much higher status and perhaps that is just a matter of time” wrote Neil Martin in January 2019 after a tasting of Rossignol’s 2017s. Nicolas is crafting wines from a broad range of top notch vineyards in Volnay and Pommard predominantly. Practicing uncertified organic farming with some biodynamic concepts, he doesn’t follow one single recipe, and each parcel of vineyard is constantly re-assessed during harvest. A new cellar was built just in time for the 2016 vintage and the future looks nothing less than stellar for Nicolas Rossignol.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Cotes de Beaune, Burgundy

On the hillsides between Pommard and Meursault, Volnay is one of two villages in the Côte de Beaune of Burgundy that is recognized for its extraordinary Pinot Noir. Pommard is the other; the rest of the villages are most known for some of the most exceptional Chardonnay in the world. While Volnay Pinot Noir tends to be light in color and more delicate than that of Pommard, they typically stand on par with each other in regards to quality and demand.

Volnay can’t claim any Grands Crus vineyards but more than half of it has achieved Premier Cru status. Volnay Premiers Crus vineyards stretch across the entire village from northeast to southwest, abutting and actually falling “into” Meursault. Where they merge is a vineyard called Les Santenots. Pinot Noir grows in this Meursault Premier Cru but since that village is most associated with stellar whites, the Pinot Noir from Les Santenots, takes the name Volnay Santenots. Immediately above it are Volnay’s other prized Premier Cru, Le Cailleret, Champans, Clos des Chênes and Le Cailleret.

Volnay Pinot Noir are earthy with red or blue fruit. Aromas such as smoke, herbs, forest, cocoa and spice are common and on the palate they are gorgeous and concentrated with finesse but won’t truly charm you without some age.
