Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds

Description :

High on the slopes of Volnay, just to the south of the village, this vineyard benefits from excellent exposure. The terroir has a high proportion of limestone which accounts for its minerality. The CDLC 0.47 hectare site is populated with vines averaging 65 years old.
Following harvest, the wine sees a five-day cold soak at 30 degrees Celsius in temperature controlled vats. The wine ferments for five to seven days with one punch down and one pump over per day. The wines are then aged between 12 to 18 months and bottled without fining or filtration. Approximately 850 bottles made annually.
