From a single parcel, Les Combes, sitting alongside Pommard. Antoine destalks all the fruit from this vineyard and is looking for a high degree of Pinot purity. Light red brick colour, it is a fresh and appealing style with open red cherry and plum flavours. The tannins are soft and subtle. This is a wine to appreciate in its youth.
Cherry nose and masses of sweet fruit on the palate. Easy and charming and delicious. Silky, silky tannins. Oozing with drink-me charm. (TC)

A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
