Perched high above the Côte de Beaune, the village of Volnay is built up against the small mountain of Chaignot, between Pommard and Meursault. The vines are oriented to the east and south-east, at an altitude comprised between 230 and 280 meters above sea level. Volnay does not produce any Grands Crus, but its Premiers crus, of which there are 30, are unmatched. Appreciated for its lovely bouquet and finesse, Volnay is often presented as a feminine wine.
