Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Rougeotte (Monopole)
The quintessence of Pinot Noir, with its powerful, silky character.
Nestled within the village, this vineyard lies ensconced by high stone walls that shield it from the elements. Aptly named, it’s the first vine to be harvested, as it takes on the autumn colors before the others. The marl-rich terroir, abundant in clay, yields a delicate and harmonious wine that only improves with age. Keeps well.
The Vineyard
Volnay
Volnay’s 100% pinot noir wines always have fine tannins, making them supple with good ageing potential. They go well with roasts, white meats, poultry and are a marvel with cheeses.
