Tasting Notes

"Monopole. Very bright crimson. Sweet and gentle and flattering on the nose and then unexpectedly dry finish. Still very youthful. Almost raw" -Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, Ratings: 17, Drink: 2020-2032

Volnay is a wine appellation located in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. Nestled between Pommard to the north and Meursault to the south, Volnay's vineyards are perched on the mid-slopes of the Côte d'Or escarpment. The village of Volnay itself sits just southwest of Beaune, and the appellation exclusively produces red wines under the AOC Volnay designation. 

The winemaking history of Volnay dates back to Roman times, but it flourished during the Middle Ages, particularly under the influence of monastic orders such as the Cistercians. Volnay gained prominence for producing elegant red wines that were often favored by French nobility. The appellation was officially granted AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) status in 1937, reinforcing its longstanding reputation for quality. Throughout the centuries, Volnay has maintained a strong identity as a source of some of Burgundy's most graceful and aromatic red wines.

The terroir of Volnay is defined by its limestone-rich soils, often mixed with marl and clay, especially on the higher slopes. The appellation encompasses approximately 29 climats classified as Premier Cru, covering a total of 126 hectares. The altitude ranges from 230 to 380 meters, with eastern and southeastern exposures that enhance ripening conditions. The elevation and gentle slopes contribute to excellent sun exposure and drainage, key factors in producing refined, age-worthy wines.

Volnay wines are crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir, Burgundy’s emblematic red grape. This delicate variety flourishes in the region’s cool continental climate and complex soils. Volnay is celebrated for producing wines of remarkable elegance, aromatic purity, and a supple, silky texture. In contrast to the more robust and structured reds of nearby Pommard, Volnay wines are typically lighter and more refined, offering nuanced aromas of red berries, violets, rose petals, and gentle spice.

Laguna Cellar features some highly renowned estate, such as Maison Louis Jadot and Domaine Dominique Lafon.

Additional charges may apply at the time of delivery.

2. Futures are expected to be available for delivery two years after the sales (e.g., the 2022 vintage, sold in 2023, will be delivered in 2025 mostly, or 2026 if the producer ages the wine longer).

3. Pre-Arrivals are items currently stored in our Bordeaux cellar or in transit from France to the US. It usually takes 1-6 months for Pre-Arrivals to become available for delivery, depending on the stage of the import process.

4. Regarding futures and pre-arrivals, we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates, which factors beyond our control may impact. However, we will notify you once your wine arrives in our cellar.

5. While a buyer of Bordeaux wine futures locks in an allocation of the specified items, the final delivery of the purchased items from France to the US may be impacted by intervening and unforeseeable events. Despite our due diligence, additional costs or delays may be caused by such intervening and unforeseen events and "an irresistible, superhuman cause, or by the act of public enemies of the state of California or the United States."  In such circumstances, if a buyer does not accept unforeseeable costs or delays, the sole and exclusive remedy is a cancellation of the futures order concerned and a refund of the original purchase price. We are NOT liable for any lost profits on a canceled order.
