Robert Ampeau & Fils Description

  • Varietal/Blend: Pinot Noir
  • Vineyard Area: Volnay-Santenots is among the appellation's southernmost sites and closest to Meursault. It's situated on the mid-slope section of the hillside. Michel Ampeau's grandfather acquired the first vines in the early-1900s before his father, Robert, acquired more in the 1950s.
  • Soil: Clay-limestone soils that are notably more red in appearance than its neighbors, signifying a greater presence of clay and a higher content of iron which lends more structure.
  • Elevation: 240 meters
  • Exposure: Southeast
  • Vinification: Grapes are mostly de-stemmed and fermented in cement tank with native yeast. Following fermentation, the wine is transferred to barrel for malolactic fermentation and aging.
  • Maturation: About 10 months in oak pièces (10-25% new barrels)
