Héritage

Volnay Pitures Dessus

Elegance and finesse from a great stony terroir. The silky signature of a renowned Burgundian village.

Tasting notes and pairings

This wine, with its deep red color and purple highlights, reveals a nose of redcurrant, raspberry, and mocha. Full and rich, it offers a textured and toasted palate, perfect with Citeaux cheese, filet mignon, or a red onion and goat cheese tart! Serve between 14 and 16 °C.

Our Vineyard

Facing east/southeast, this 0.12-hectare plot is composed of old vines from massal selection of Pinot Noir. Located at the top of the slope, at an altitude of 340-350 m, its soil is white, infertile, and quite compact, quickly imposing water-stress conditions on the vines.

Awards

Our wines are regularly rewarded for their quality.

  • Etymology
    In 1272, this place in Volnay was called En Pouture. The plots of land thus named are very close to the village and their soil is moist. The village animals could come to graze there, thus explaining the term "Pitures".
