The Authentic Expression of a Great Volnay Terroir

The Estate

The history of this site dates back to between 1120 and 1130 with the Cistercian monks, but Domaine du Cellier aux Moines as we know it today was founded in 2004. Located in Givry in Burgundy, the estate is now run by its current owners, Catherine and Philippe Pascal, along with their children. This 10.5-hectare estate stands out for its pursuit of excellence, its respect for heritage, and its conversion to biodynamic farming. With a growing reputation, it produces wines of great precision that faithfully reflect the diversity of its terroirs.

The Vineyard

This wine comes from the premier cru climat located within the Volnay appellation, in the prestigious Côte de Beaune. The Pinot Noir vines are rigorously farmed under certified organic and biodynamic practices. The soil is worked with the utmost respect for natural cycles and soil vitality, with hand-harvesting carried out to preserve the integrity and quality of the grape clusters.

Winemaking and Ageing

The production of the Volnay 1er Cru "En Chevret" 2024 reflects the estate's philosophy of gentle intervention. The grapes are transported to an innovative gravity-flow winery spread over four levels, three of which are underground. This setup eliminates the need for pumps, allowing the must and wine to flow naturally. This fully gravity-based method ensures a particularly delicate extraction, preserving all the aromatic finesse and silky texture characteristic of this cuvée.

Grape Variety

This wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir.
