Sourced from a total of 1.25 ha of vines, with an average age of 50 years. The Vendanges Sélectionnées is a blend from four parcels at the centre of the village that border 1er Crus (including Mitans), all facing southeast on clay-limestone soil. It could therefore be said that this represents the heart of Volnay. This cuvée is made only in good years when yields are high enough in Volnay to warrant putting aside grapes from the older vines. Aged for 18 months in barrel (7% new), one racking.

William Kelly (Wine Advocate) 

"The 2023 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionées exhibits aromas of dark berries, orange zest and petals, followed by a medium-bodied, lively palate with good purity of fruit and chalky structuring tannins."

Jasper Morris:

"10% new wood. A more definite purple colour. Lively raspberry, such stylish wines, not enormously more grip than the regular, perhaps an extra tannin at the very end, but the velvet covering lasts even longer at the back of the palate. Superb finesse Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Dec 2024."
