Tasting note
Volnay wines are feminine, if only one word shall be used. Evolving throughout red fruits and violet aromas, their roundness makes them very seducing, with soft or tougher tanins. It is a distinguished and elegant wine, known as a great representative of the Côte de Beaune.

Ideal with roasted game birds and strong cheeses .
