【The Volnay appellation in Burgundy】





Volnay is often contrasted with the robust Pinot Noir of neighbouring Pommard, yet its wines exhibit a silky, refined structure, elegant aromatics and surprising ageing potential – truly embodying the concept of “an iron fist in a velvet glove”. Volnay's reputation reached its zenith particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries, when more silky and refined styles were favoured. Even today, Volnay remains regarded as representing the softer side of Burgundy reds, often displaying greater refinement and elegance compared to neighbouring Pommard. The Pinot Noir wines produced in Volnay are elegant in style, typically displaying aromas of violets, gooseberries, and cherries. They possess excellent concentration and ageing potential, developing notes of spices and stewed plums over time. They are particularly suited to Burgundy red wine enthusiasts who favour a refined, elegant style!
