Marc-Olivier Buffet, the eighth generation of his family, became the main player at Domaine Francois Buffet in 2005. Today, the Domaine covers an area of more than 7.5 hectares and produces 15 appellations using grapes grown in the municipalities of Volnay and Pommard. The wine-making here is traditional, and depending on the cru and vintage, grapes are either fully, partially, or not destemmed at all. The wines then mature in barrels for approximately18 months (with 20% new oak).
The wines of Volnay have always fine tannins, which makes them supple with good aging potential .This cru has a dream terroir. The silt and gravels are abundant which gives a wine of great finesse and a noble texture.
