The Volnay-Santenots appellation is located in the southern part of the Côte de Beaune, in the Burgundy region of France. It is known for producing some of the world's finest and most elegant red wines, made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. The vineyards of Volnay-Santenots are situated on gentle slopes with southeastern exposure and are characterized by limestone-rich soils that provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine's minerality.
The combination of the region's unique terroir, along with the skill and expertise of winemakers like Domaine Faiveley, results in highly sought-after wines for their complexity, finesse, and ability to age gracefully. The 2020 Domaine Faiveley Volnay-Santenots is a prime example of the exceptional quality that can be achieved in this appellation.
