1er cru

"Smooth and delicate, they say that Volnay leaves its mark on the Côte de Beaune like the imprint of a kiss..."

With its brilliant ruby color, the Volnay 1er Cru Champans displays great subtlety on the nose, with notes of violet, red currant, cherry, and spices. The palate is silky; it is a very elegant wine whose concentration and complexity are expressed in a delicate and nuanced way.
