Volnay
1er Cru Champans
A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.
Vineyard
Terroir located mid-slope and sheltered from the wind by the village. Limestone brown soil with relatively little clay, sitting on a pearly slab. The slight slope and the gravel cover allow good drainage and uniform maturity of the grapes. Great value terroir.
