Nicolas Rossignol, Volnay Ronceret Size:6x750ml This is the first time

This is the first time since 2004 that they have bottled a Kabinett under the single-vineyard Kirchspiel name

It was produced with 92% Mencía and up to 8% of white grapes

750 cases made

I was mildly surprised to find a bit of reduction in the bottled version though not enough to completely hide the otherwise ripe

grilled herb and dark berry

Nicolas Rossignol, Volnay Ronceret Size:6x750ml This is the first timeAn herbal tea top note can be found on the ripe aromas of cassis, black cherry, cinnamon and violet. The caressing and enveloping medium bodied flavors also possess outstanding volume and focused power on the superbly long finish. This broad shouldered effort is presently tautly muscular and quite firm though Roncerets typically ages beautifully into classic examples of Volnay and I predict this will do the same if allowed sufficient time.
