In the Côte de Beaune, not far from Beaune, the lovely and tiny village of Volnay is surrounded by vineyards. The slope faces East/South-East and benefits from a privileged position and plenty of sunshine. From the village itself, the view is superb. 

Crowned by a limestone plateau, the Volnay vineyards have a subsoil of Argovian marlstone, and in the bordering parts of Pommard and Meursault, a layer of Bathonian limestone. 

The grape variety is 100% Pinot Noir. 

Joseph Drouhin owns vineyards in Volnay but also buys grapes from excellent Premier Crus such as Volnay Chevret. The grapes, as delicate as the wines they produce, are handled with the utmost care. 

Volnay combines distinction, nobility, finesse, and elegance. 

The colour has shades going all the way from light vermilion to the deepest ruby. Its delicate bouquet is reminiscent of red berries and violets, and its tannins blend harmoniously into an elegant and complex aftertaste. 

Volnay is a wine much sought after by connoisseurs, collectors and wine lovers alike.
