Let’s talk about Volnay Les Famines - Clos du Moulin Aux Moines

More questions

The Volnay Les Famines from Clos du Moulin Aux Moines is an emblematic example of the elegance and finesse that Burgundy wines can offer. Produced in the limited vicinity of Volnay, this cuvée is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes cultivated using biodynamic methods, reflecting the winery's deep respect for the environment.

In the glass, Volnay Les Famines presents a bright ruby red color that heralds the complexity of the bouquet. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of cherry and berries, enriched by nuances of damp earth and delicate spices, such as vanilla, derived from careful aging in French oak barrels.

On the palate, it is smoothly balanced, with a finely woven tannic structure leading to a long and persistent finish. The flavors of ripe red fruit blend harmoniously with notes of leather and black pepper, creating a taste profile that is both powerful and refined.

This wine pairs splendidly with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, but is also an excellent choice for a special occasion that calls for a wine of great class and depth. Volnay Les Famines is ideal for those seeking a wine that can beautifully evolve over the years.

The story
The site is an ancient wine estate mentioned as early as the Middle Ages: the Clos del Moulin aux Moines is associated with the monks of the Abbey of Cluny and later with the Abbey of Cîteaux. Over the centuries the property changed hands several times; the Andrieu family is recorded as the controlling owner since their acquisition in 2008, during which the estate was renovated and relaunched.
Production philosophy
The estate favors a low-intervention approach to showcase the character of the terroir: organic and biodynamic cultivation applied to the entire vineyard, manual harvesting, limited use of winemaking technologies, and some low-sulfite winemaking experiments for the alternative cuvées.
Terroir and vineyards
Situated in the Côte de Beaune, between the communes of Auxey-Duresses and Meursault. The emblematic monopole is a clos protected by a stone wall with red clay and limestone soils, situated in a low-lying position watered by a local stream. Other vineyard holdings include parcels in Pommard, Pernand-Vergelesses, Saint-Romain and Corpeau.
