"Another of the more generous, gourmand wines in the range, the 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Ronceret wafts from the glass with rich aromas of blackberries, raspberries and candied peel. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a rich core of fruit, melting tannins and juicy acids, concluding with a long finish that belies its fruit-driven attack. Rossignol began picking on September 5, 2017 and was optimistic about the wines just after harvest, saying that the vintage's thick skins compensated to some extent for its generous yields. Tasting with him again this year, he was similarly upbeat, evidently relishing his wines' charm and sheer drinkability. While they don't attain the same levels of concentration and depth as his stunning 2015 and 2016 portfolios, they exemplify his fleshy but precise style and will provide immense pleasure for a broad period. With a new and luxuriously appointed winery and cellar on the Beaune périphérique and an enviable palette of appellations, the future looks very bright for Nicolas Rossignol, a winemaker who today numbers among the CÎte de Beaune's best producers."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Volnay is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with esteemed Premier Crus, producing elegant, perfumed and silky Pinot Noir reds prized for their finesse, delicacy and floral red-fruit character.
2017 in Burgundy delivered generous yields and fresh, elegant wines; the whites are especially fine, bright and precise, while the reds are charming, supple and aromatic, drinking well relatively early.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
