Perched on a picturesque hillside 275 meters high, this pretty village, nestled into the landscape, dominates the vineyards down below. Exclusively reds, Volnay premiers cru wines represent more than half of the total surface of 220 hectares of vines., of which almost 100 hectares are situated in AOC recognized vineyards.  Volnay wines are soft, feminine and robust.  Giving off aromas of violets and red fruit, these delicate and distinguished wines are tender, but also know how to show off their concentrated flavors.  One should wait between five to 10 years before opening a bottle of this magic wine.
