Terroir and Vineyard
Location
Les Pitures is a south-facing Premier Cru climat on the hills above Volnay. Its microclimate provides optimal sun exposure, ripening grapes to perfect balance.
Soil Composition
Deep limestone-clay soils deliver minerality and freshness, giving the wine its signature tension and finesse.
Vinification
Harvesting
All grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted in the vineyard to ensure only the highest quality fruit reaches the cellar.
Fermentation & Aging
Spontaneous fermentation in traditional oak vats followed by 14–16 months aging in 30% new French oak barrels. No filtration preserves the wine’s purity and aromatic intensity.
Tasting Profile

Palate
Silky tannins and vibrant acidity carry flavors of red berries, subtle spice, and wet stone, leading to a long, mineral-tinged finish.
Gastronomy
Food Pairings
Perfect with roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert.
Serving Tips
Serve at 16–17 °C. Decant for 30 minutes to open up its aromatic bouquet.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now for its bright fruit, or cellar for up to 10–12 years to develop tertiary aromas of truffle, leather, and earth.
