Created in 1865 by the Swiss Camille Giroud, the Maison was originally a trading house which only began to buy its own vines in 1990. In 2001, some American enthusiasts named Colgin, purchased the domain and maintained its international success. Native to the Loire valley, their oenologist David Croix wanted to maintain this micro-trading business. Nowadays his place has been taken by Carel Voorhuis. The wines produced are popular due to their elegance, balance and the right choice of grape maturity and élevage.

This Volnay comes from Pinot Noir vines aged between 15 – 50 years old, growing in the lieu-dits of Cros Martins and Les Lurets, in the sector classified for “premiers crus”; vines here benefit from the rich earth and limestone topsoil. Fruit-forward, unveiling a slight hint of vanilla, this is a wine with potential.
