Pitures (Dessus) sits to the northern end of Volnay just below ‘sur Roche’. The name meaning mud, was a reference to the natural spring sitting above the vineyard that today just helps moderate the health of the vines through hot dry years. An incredibly steep vineyard with hard limestone and a perfect southeast exposure. The wines are fairly voluminous for Volnay.
Bill Nanson, The Burgundy Report: Hmm – a lovely nose again – a little more floral – the wines are singing here this morning. Finer structured – open, a nice line of flavour – I love the open nature of this wine. Very broad finishing – ooh this is sappy/vibrant and delicious – excellent wine!”
Pre Arrival Offer
We embrace the classic and historic 'en Primeur' system. It originated in Bordeaux and translates directly to 'of the first'. While in Bordeaux it gives the ability to a buyer to purchase the wine still in barrel, at The French Wine Centre it enables our clients to secure their preferred wines a month or two before the wine arrives on our shores. There is also a significant saving.
