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.
