About Arnaud Baillot Volnay

When discussing wines, we occasionally encounter historical labels that today seem somewhat curious. For instance, the tradition in Burgundy refers to wines as "feminine" and "masculine": the former, supposedly elegant, delicate, aromatic, and silky; the latter, robust, powerful, and structured. We now understand that these labels are not literal, nor should they be associated with gender. They are ancient metaphors to describe style, body, and mouthfeel.

So, when it is said that Volnay, in the Côte de Beaune, produces the most "feminine" wines of Burgundy, what it truly signifies is that this area is renowned for its delicate, refined, and silky pinot noir, wines that caress the palate with elegance and subtlety.

One who masterfully commands this magic is Arnaud Baillot, whose family has been devoted to viticulture in the Côte de Beaune region for generations. Specialising in the production of high-quality pinot noir and chardonnay, Arnaud is intimately familiar with every root, every cluster, and every barrel, and he succeeds in conveying the essence of his terroir in his wines without artifice.

The perfect example is Arnaud Baillot Volnay. The grapes are sourced from two exceptional vineyards in the AOC Volnay. In the winery, the wine is allowed to rest for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels, with 20-25% new oak, just enough to refine the tannins and impart aromatic complexity without overshadowing the grape's natural finesse.

The result is a wine that combines elegance, delicacy, and precision, a pinot noir that reflects the character of the AOC Volnay without the need for outdated labels or gender metaphors. Arnaud Baillot Volnay speaks for itself, showcasing the truly finest and most elegant version of pinot noir.
