Volnay

Volnay is a village in the Cote de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy, renowned for making some of the smoothest, most delicate red wines of the southern Cote d'Or. Located between Pommard (famous for its powerful reds) and Meursault (the home of rich whites).

Volnay has had its own appellation since 1937, reserved exclusively for red wines made from Pinot Noir.

More than half of the vineyards covered by the Volnay title are rated as Premier Cru.

The top Volnays possess an immense, seductive, fruitiness and lushness, particulary from vineyards such as Clos des Chênes, Taillepieds, Bousse d'Or, Clos des Ducs.
