Volnay

The Volnay vineyard lies roughly in the centre of the Côte de Beaune, bordered by Pommard to the Northeast, Monthélie to the West and Meursault to the South. The south-eastern facing vineyards produce only red wines from 26 Premiers Crus. Crowned by a limestone plateau, the Volnay vineyards have a sub soil composed of Argovien marlstone and in its bordering parts of Pommard and Meursault, a Bathonien clay and limestone scree. With a high component of pebbles, the altitude varies between 230 and 370 m above sea level.
