Description
What kind of wine is it
Pierre André Volnay is a dry red wine from Burgundy made from Pinot Noir grapes, a true expression of Volnay. On the palate, it reveals a silky texture and soft tannins. Ageing imparts spicy notes, while maintaining a fresh drinkability and ensuring a very long finish. Also suitable for a vegan diet, it has a residual sugar of 3 g/l, confirming a clear and balanced sensory profile.
Where does it come from
This wine is produced in France, in the heart of Burgundy, from the renowned vineyards of the Côte de Beaune in the Volnay area. The vines grow on clay and limestone soils with gravelly layers, ideal for drainage and imparting a distinct mineral character. This exceptional terroir gives the wine a deep ruby colour and a fresh elegance, balancing structure and finesse. A total acidity of 5.2 g/l adds further vibrancy, ensuring a taut and defined sip.
How is it produced
The cellar process begins with a cold maceration at 8°C. The subsequent fermentation is carried out gently, managed through punching down and pumping over at a maximum of 30°C, followed by malolactic conversion. Maturation lasts for 8-16 months in oak barrels, using a measured proportion of new wood to enrich the bouquet. This process integrates ripe cherry aromas, violet and delicate wild berries, resulting in a rich and structured tasting experience.
