Grape(s): 100% Pinot Noir

According to Schildknecht: “Marrying fruit from la Bouchere - a rocky, late-picked site high above the village - with fruit from near to the route nationale, Rossignol's 2006 Volnay displays generous, ripe blackberry and blueberry with chalky and saline mineral nuances and bitter-sweet (eventually liquid) floral perfume. Aromatic suggestions of sweetly-smoky machine oil and of mint and resin add further allure on the palate, engendering palate sensation that - while entirely free of superficial sweetness - suggests maple syrup having been drizzled over the fruit. This finishes with lovely persistence and elegance, reflecting a balance of richness and refreshment. It would be a shame to miss out on enjoying it early - or, for that matter, at all - but I would not be surprised to see it remain delicious for a half dozen years.” RP 91 pts.
