The estate has practiced organic and biodynamic farming since 2006. The 2022 vintage was characterized by warm, dry weather, which allowed the vines to maintain acidity and express the vineyard's specific qualities.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Volnay Premier Cru Clos des Ducs 2022 begins with completely destemmed Pinot Noir grapes. Fermentation occurs over 10 to 12 days, utilizing pump-overs for extraction rather than punch-downs. The grapes are cooled prior to fermentation, and the cap is managed with twice-daily pump-overs to ensure fine tannin extraction. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 18 months, predominantly in used oak barrels, with a maximum of about 25% new oak. The wine is customarily bottled without fining or filtering.
