Domaine Henri Delagrange is the real thing: a sixth-generation Volnay family that has been farming its own vines for well over a century and formally established their Domaine in 1978. Today, Didier Delagrange runs the show. He farms just under 11 hectares from Meursault to Corton with a simple, disciplined philosophy: healthy soils, hand harvesting, native fermentations, and restrained élevage that lets site and vintage lead.

The 2021 Volnay Vieilles Vignes is proof that serious Volnay still exists at sane prices. Sourced from 55‑year‑old vines rooted in limestone and ferruginous soils in the heart of the village, this Pinot delivers freshness, structure, and unmistakable Burgundian elegance. Modest oak, gentle extraction, and estate‑grown fruit result in a wine that punches far above its village classification—and far beyond its price.
