Description

Guillaume and Sarah Glantenay are a dynamic young brother and sister team who took over from their father Pierre in the 2013 vintage. This family-owned Volnay domaine traces its roots to the 17th century. It has eight hectares, spread over Volnay, Pommard and Chambolle-Musigny. The Chambolle holdings were passed down from Guillaume and Sarah’s grandmother. Guillaume is in charge of viticulture and winemaking, whilst Sarah is a great ambassador for the estate. Viticulture is lutte raisonée, involving ploughing, with no pesticides or herbicides. The grapes are largely destemmed, macerated cool and fermented using natural yeasts. The premiers crus have 30% new oak on average, the village wines 20%. 90% of the domaine’s production is red wine.
