Domaine François Buffet

This little jewel of a domaine is run by the amiable Marc-Olivier Buffet, whose family have been making wine in Volnay since 1692. Today, the domaine covers 7.5 hectares, including a wealth of old vines in the most prestigious vineyards of Volnay and Pommard, not least the monopole Volnay Premier Cru Clos de la Rougeotte. The reputation of this domaine is still a little under the radar, but the run of delicate and languid wines created by Marc-Olivier over the past few years is certainly gaining more admirers annually. Throughout this period, Marc-Olivier has been diffidently refining his style. In our opinion, these are now among the most elegant expressions of Volnay out there.
