The wine region of Volnay
Feminine jewel of the Côte de Beaune producing the most delicate Pinot Noirs: signature Pinot Noir as the exclusive red king — pale ruby robe with refined aromas of cherry, raspberry, violet, peony and fine spices, silky tannins and a signature elegant finish; finesse and bouquet make it the most feminine of Burgundian reds. 29 Premiers Crus (Caillerets, Champans, Taillepieds). AOC (1937), ~213 ha on steep slopes, Oxfordian marl-limestone.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
