More questions
Volnay - Pillot is born in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, a territory famous for its elegant and refined Pinot Noir. This wine best expresses the typicality of the Volnay appellation, characterized by a harmonious balance between floral delicacy and soft structure. The Pinot Noir grape, grown on limestone-clay soils, gives a complex aromatic profile where notes of rose, cherry, and red fruits intertwine, accompanied by spicy nuances and light earthy traces.
The winemaking method involves controlled fermentations and aging in oak barrels that soften the tannins without losing freshness and finesse. The result is a wine of great elegance, with a slim body and a velvety persistence that makes it ideal to accompany white meats, mushroom-based dishes, and soft cheeses. Long and enveloping, Volnay - Pillot is a true jewel of Burgundy that captivates with its grace and depth.

The story
The Pillot family has been established in the Côte Chalonnaise for several generations: the company's website records six generations of winegrowers and viticultural activity on these hills for around 150 years. Bottles have been marketed since the 1960s, and the winery, with parts dating to the 18th century, was renovated in the 1990s.
