Louis Jadot Volnay is a premium red wine that originates from the Cote de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, and is known for its elegant and refined taste. The wine displays a deep ruby color in the glass, and on the nose you will experience aromas of red berries, cherries, and hints of earthiness and spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with rich fruit flavors, silky tannins, and a long, smooth finish. Louis Jadot Volnay is a wine to be savored slowly, and pairs perfectly with roasted meat dishes, game, and strong cheeses.

Tasting Notes

Volnay produces some of the most supple, silky, refined and generous wines of all the Côte de Beaune communes, delivering lovely enticing aromas and concentrated succulent fruit on the palate.
