About this Wine
This Volnay doesn’t dazzle with volume — it seduces with detail. All red cherry, soft spice, and mineral poise, it’s light, lacy, and totally unfiltered. Bordering Pommard but floating on air, it’s a wine that tiptoes in — then totally takes over. Effortlessly elegant, it’s a dainty little daydream in a glass.

Tasting Notes
Pretty as a spring breeze. Perfumed, pure, and oh so Volnay.
Ancient Vineyard. Pure Volnay Elegance & Complexity.
Delicate, fragrant and silky to the core, this is Volnay doing what Volnay does best — cherry fruit, lifted florals, a dusting of spice and not a single hair out of place. There's something almost ethereal about this wine: unfiltered, light on its feet, and strikingly pure. It may border the sturdier soils of Pommard, but here, it’s all elegance and ease. A wine that doesn’t push — it glides.

The Plot
Les Brouillards is a historic Premier Cru, first mentioned as early as 1261. Its name hints at the morning mists that often drift through this part of Volnay, just along the border with Pommard. Despite the location, the style stays firmly in the Volnay camp: airy, perfumed and poised.
Technical Details
Fermented using 50% whole bunches, this wine is all about lift, perfume, and silky flow. It was matured in equal parts ceramic and oak barrels, with no more than 20% new oak. Ceramic’s neutral character helps preserve the purity of the red fruit and floral aromatics, while gently supporting the wine’s feather-light tannins. The result is a beautifully transparent, elegant expression of Volnay — charming now, and with a few graceful years ahead of it too.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
This will benefit from time in the cellar. You can open it now if you enjoy youthful energy, but patience should bring more depth, harmony and complexity.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
