Volnay

Volnay, located in Burgundy, France, is praised for its elegant Pinot Noirs. The region’s limestone-rich soils and moderately pitched slopes lead to the complexity of its wines. Volnay’s reds are known as some of the most aromatic of the Pinot Noirs produced from the Cote de Beaune.  Volnay Pinot Noirs often exhibit flavors of red fruit, earth, and spice, with supple tannins and vibrant acidity. Many producers have moved to less new oak influence on the wines lately, allowing the aromatic characters to shine. Volnay is highly regarded for producing some of the most refined and expressive Pinot Noirs in Burgundy with producers such as Lucien Boillot, Pousse d'Or and Michel Lafarge making excellent examples.
