Volnay is the stronghold of the family domain. Tucked into the hillside, the vineyards of Volnay long ago captured the hearts of the dukes of Burgundy, who owned a significant portion of them. The lieu-dit known as "Les Taillepieds" takes its name from its steep hill and the small, sharp gravel on which winegrowers "slashed their feet" while digging into the earth. It faces east and south on a mid-slope composed of light brown clay and lots of tiny gravel stones. Volnay "Les Taillepieds" is a model of aromatic purity, of precision and of structural exactness. The nose is highly defined, precise, pure, often floral and always mineral and spicy. The mouthfeel is robust with a tannic frame that is strict, dense and minerally.
