Brothers David and Nicolas Rossignol have introduced a number of changes at the family domain in recent years, including a reduction in the percentage of new oak, a slower malolactic fermentation, and, since 2004, a longer elevage and later bottling under the direction of enologist Pierre Millman. Beginning with the 2005 vintage, the Rossignols introduced separate bottlings of their premier crus Combottes, Cherbaudes and Corbeaux, which had previously been blended into a single premier cru release. In 2006, the Rossignols harvested on the early side, bringing in fruit with potential alcohol around 12.4% and then chaptalizing moderately to about 13.2% to prolong the fermentations. The estate has been farmed biodynamically as of 2004.
