Burghound, April 2022, Score: 93-96
A cool, restrained and equally elegant nose is overtly floral with its ripe aromas of dark berry liqueur, earth and pretty spice elements. The venerable old vines are very much in evidence thanks to the seemingly endless reserves of sappy dry extract that confer a highly seductive texture in addition to buffering the exceptionally firm, compact and tightly wound bitter pit fruit-inflected finale that just goes on and on. This superb effort is consistently Rossignol's finest wine and so it is again in 2020. If you can find it, buy it though note well that it is likely to mature glacially. Don't miss! Outstanding.

Region
Pommard
A long popular appellation, Pommard is yet another exclusive red wine area which produces by far the most structured reds of the Côte de Beaune. It extracts rich body and long ageing potential from the limestone/iron-rich clay soil. Some examples can be markedly rustic, yet as time has passed and winemaking know-how has improved, Pommard's wines are becoming softer and more approachable when young. Its vines cover 317 hectares of which over a third are premier cru vineyards. Several have pronounced following and even one, Les Rugiens, is being pushed to become a grand cru.
