Special characteristic

Destemming and triage of the grapes. Transfer into fermentation vessels, with maceration (skin contact) lasting around 20 days. Careful maturation, including malolactic fermentation, with 50% in 350-litre barrels (second-use) and 50% in 'Vinification Intégrale®' barrels. Only minimally filtered before bottling.

Black fruit and spicy aromas on the nose. Spice again on the palate. Fresh with silky tannins. A subtle, intricate wine of elegance and breed.

The terroir in Volnay is dominated by limestone overlain by banks of schist. Grown at altitudes of between 230 and 280 metres, Volnay wines have great aromatic intensity and exceptional finesse.
