The most elegant and delicately perfumed Pinot Noirs in Burgundy come from the small commune of Volnay, sandwiched between Meursault to the south and Pommard to the north. The many small producers in Volnay maintain an impressive quality level across the board and the fragrant style applies well to wines from throughout the appellation, at least when compared to the bigger wines of its neighbor, Pommard. Volnay produces more Premier Cru wine than Village wine, a factor that may help explain its high average quality level. (Wine/Appellations)
