The 2023 Domaine Rossignol-Février Volnay Vieilles Vignes is a refined and terroir-driven red Burgundy that highlights the added depth and complexity of old-vine Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune. Crafted from biodynamically farmed vineyards, it reflects the freshness and vibrancy of the 2023 vintage while retaining the elegance typical of Volnay. The nose is expressive and layered, offering red cherry, raspberry and plum, alongside subtle notes of violet, spice and a touch of earthy minerality. There is also a slightly darker, more structured edge, with hints of black fruit and a delicate iodine nuance adding complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky yet supple texture and fine tannins. Fresh acidity supports vibrant red fruit, leading to a long, detailed finish with a subtle orange zest lift and mineral precision. The style is elegant yet slightly more concentrated than standard village Volnay, offering both charm and depth.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers seeking a more complex and structured Volnay without losing its signature perfume and finesse. The old vines add depth while the 2023 vintage keeps it fresh and approachable. Drink from 2025 or over the next 6–10 years. Perfect with duck, roast poultry, pork or mushroom-based dishes.
