Volnay


See Volnay producers

The finest and most elegant red wines of the Côte de Beaune are grown in Volnay, a village which might be twinned with Chambolle- Musigny in the Côte de Nuits, for the high active chalk content in the soil and comparatively low clay content. 

Whereas in earlier times Volnay was made in a particularly light, early drinking style, these days there are many producers making wines which age extremely well.

The best vineyards run either side of the RN73.

  • 98 hectares of village Volnay.
  • 115 hectares of premier cru vineyards (35 in all). Best vineyards include Les Taillepieds, Clos des Chênes, Champans, Caillerets (including Clos des 60 Ouvrées) and Santenots in Meursault.
  • Recommended ProducersLafarge, Lafon, de Montille.
