The eclectic Nicolas Rossignol has acquired vineyards in the Brouilly, Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent Crus, creating a new 3.5-hectare estate. The goal is to rediscover the Beaujolais of yesteryear: wines for pleasure but also great wines for aging. Brouilly ‘La Folie’ comes from 60-year-old vines growing on pink granite soils. This terroir gives structured wines with ripe tannins and great longevity. Côte de Brouilly ‘Chavannes’ comes from mixed vines on blue granite. Mineral, rich and dense wines, perfect for aging. Moulin-à-Vent is a blend of two parcels vinified with 50% whole bunches, producing an intense, rich wine that is a worthy rival to the great Burgundy wines that Nicolas continues to produce in “his” Côte de Beaune.
