Volnay
 

 


Volnay

Volnay has been very famous for already 8 centuries ! A King of France even took the whole production of a campaign for his own only !

Volnay produces only red wines. They are well-structured and elegant. The white wines made in the Volnay area are sold under the Meursault appellation. Note that red Volnay-Santenots wines are actually coming from Meursault !
