Domaine Ampeau Description
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.

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.
