Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Volnay 1er Cru "Chevret" 2017 is a distinguished Premier Cru red Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grapes in the renowned Volnay appellation of Côte de Beaune, France. This expressive vintage combines the aromatic elegance of Volnay with depth, concentration and a firm mineral structure.
The wine reveals complex aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, dark chocolate and rich earthy notes, complemented by hints of sage, clove and subtle savoury nuances.
