Volnay 1er Cru "Les Mitans" 2009 - Pierre André at the Château de Corton

Volnay 1er Cru "Les Mitans" 2009 - Pierre André - Château de Corton André

Since 1923, Pierre André, based at the Château de Corton-André in Aloxe-Corton, has been renowned throughout the world for his prestigious Burgundy estate located in the heart of the most illustrious vintages of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune.

Today, Château de Corton-André is the symbol of tradition in Burgundy. It is the only Château in the Côte de Beaune located in the Grands Crus appellations.

Pierre André fell under the spell of Château Corton (also called Château Jaune for its glazed tiles), which he acquired in 1923. Since 2002 the estate has changed hands, passing in 2002 between those of the Ballande group before being acquired in 2015 by the Frey group (Billecart-Salmon, La Lagune, Jaboulet-Aîné).

The premier cru "Les Mitans" is located in the south-east of the Volnay appellation. Find the official downloadable technical sheet of the Volnay appellation in the attached document (to be an expert at half-time...ok I'm leaving).
