help Coche-Dury Volnay FAQ
Is Coche-Dury Volnay a white Burgundy or a red Burgundy?
It is a red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir under the Volnay appellation. That distinguishes it from Domaine Coche-Dury's best-known wines from Meursault, which are made from Chardonnay.
Why is Coche-Dury Volnay so difficult to buy?
Domaine Coche-Dury has a small production and strong international demand, while its red-wine holdings are less extensive than its famous white-wine range. Bottles consequently appear mainly through specialist merchants, restaurant allocations, and auctions.
Does Coche-Dury Volnay come from a Premier Cru vineyard?
A bottle labeled simply "Volnay" should not automatically be described as Premier Cru. Burgundy classification depends on the exact vineyard name printed on the label, so buyers should distinguish village Volnay from any separately designated Premier Cru bottling.
How should an older bottle of Coche-Dury Volnay be served?
Stand the bottle upright beforehand so sediment can settle, then open it gently and assess it before extended decanting. A cool serving temperature around cellar level is more appropriate for mature Pinot Noir than ordinary warm room temperature.
