Régis Rossignol began working the vineyards of this 6.5 hectare Domaine with his father in 1950, taking over the reins formally in 1966. Régis retired in 2022, and the vineyards of this celebrated and traditional domaine were sold. Veritas was fortunate at that time to be able to step forward and acquire all of the remaining stock. Sadly, the name of Domaine Rossignol-Changarnier will live on only in the few precious bottles that remain.
The wines were made organically, even before that became the fashion and norm in the upper tier of Burgundy. The old vine vineyards lay predominantly in Volnay, although there were a combined 1.5 hectares in Pommard, Beaune, Savigny, and Meursault. Régis sought guidance for his viticulture and vinification in the lunar calendar, and (except for his Pommard) fermented whole clusters. He completed malos by Christmas, racked once in the spring, and bottled in October with light filtration and no fining.
