Pinot noir

Volnay is one of the renowned village appellations in the Côte de Beaune, located just south of Pommard. It is reputed for its supple, elegant wines that are often considered "feminine" as opposed to its neighbour Pommard, which has a reputation for its powerful, structured, "masculine" wines.

Tasting

Very elegant nose redolent of red fruit (cherry, raspberry...), which will evolve over the years toward notes of mild spices and a touch of cinnamon. Soft, elegant and generous on the palate, this wine boasts lovely structure and a long, intensely fruity finish.
