Crowned by a limestone plateau, the Volnay vineyards have a sub soil composed of Argovien marlstone and in its bordering parts of Pommard and Meursault, a Bathonien clay and limestone scree. High in pebbles. The altitude varies between 230 and 370 m above sea level.

The fermentation takes place in tank for 3-4 weeks, after which they are aged in barrel for an average of 12 months before being bottled.
