Volnay
1er Cru Champans
The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a heathy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.

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.
