The appellation

Volnay sits up high, dominating the Côte de Beaune, and on a clear day, one can see as far as Mont Blanc. And this broad scope is reflected in its wines. Volnay is a traditional Burgundy village, with a relatively low profile that focuses fully on its vines.

This wine comes from two plots from two neighboring climats, covering 1.5 hectares and with a great deal in common. Facing south-southeast, they are drenched in sunshine and have such prestigious neighbors as Taille Pieds and Cailleret. This side of Volnay is close by Monthélie and Meursault, and is where the line of the Côte takes a turn from east-facing to southeast.

Le Clos des Chênes has a choice place in the lineage of Volnay premier crus. Part of our plot is classed as Volnay Village in Le Clos des Chênes (0.6736 hectares) and is located on the side of the Chaignot (or Chagnot) hill, which explains its long-standing name. Le Clos des Chênes is among those excellent cuvées highlighted in 1855 by Dr Jules Lavalle, covering 16.2740 hectares, making it the biggest climat of the appellation, which, at the time, was considered equal to Taille Pieds. He considered its wines to be “Of the first order.” The climat today covers 15 hectares.

: Replanting of missing vines in the fall. Earthing up in the winter. Spraying with a nettle and rhubarb infusion, and a brew of horsetail and silica, tansy, sage and yarrow. Biodynamic 500 and 501 preparations were used at the end of winter and in spring, and 501 again before flowering. Removal of excess vegetation in spring.
