On the hillsides between Pommard and Meursault, Volnay is one of two villages in the Côte de Beaune of Burgundy that is recognized for its extraordinary Pinot Noir. Pommard is the other; the rest of the villages are most known for some of the most exceptional Chardonnay in the world. Grapes come from the 65 year old vines in the village of Volnay in the Côte de Beaune, and especially from "Les Lurets" and "La Gigotte" vineyards, at the bottom of Volnay. They are very naturally produced and according to the winemaker "We follow the lunar calendar ("fruit day") for the bottling without fining and filtering".
