WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Volnay Premier Cru Champans begins with a manual harvest and meticulous sorting of the Pinot Noir grapes. Following destemming, the grapes undergo a cold soak before fermentation on native yeasts. A distinctive family tradition of not punching down the cap (no pigeage) is followed to preserve the integrity of the seeds. Fermentation lasts between 10 to 12 days, with temperatures carefully managed. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, typically for 12 to 18 months, with a proportion of new oak used. The domaine is committed to certified biodynamic farming practices.
