The wine is made from grapes grown in a small, walled vineyard known as a monopole, which is exclusively owned by the producer. The vineyard features steep slopes and limestone-rich soils, which contribute to the wine's elegant and complex character. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand harvesting and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Volnay, with aromas of red fruit, violets, and spice, and a silky texture and long finish.
