Appellation Volnay - AOC - History and Wines

### Volnay AOC - Burgundy, France

Volnay, a prestigious appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) located in the heart of Burgundy, is renowned for its elegant and refined red wines, primarily made from the Pinot Noir grape variety. Nestled between Pommard and Meursault, the commune of Volnay benefits from an exceptional terroir with limestone and clay soils, ideal for viticulture.

Volnay wines are distinguished by their aromatic finesse, offering floral notes of violet, peony, and rose, harmonised with aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. On the palate, they reveal a silky texture, delicate tannins, and a beautiful length. These qualities make them particularly appreciated by lovers of Burgundy's grand crus.

For collectors and wine cellar managers, Volnay offers excellent ageing potential, capable of improving and developing complexity over several decades. Its noble and balanced character pairs perfectly with fine dishes like roasted pigeon, veal, or truffle-based dishes.

By incorporating Volnay wines into your wine cellar management, you will add a touch of prestige and sophistication to your collection, while highlighting an exceptional terroir.
