Christophe Vaudoisey and his wife Laurence took over the family estate in 1985, and their son Pierre now works alongside them. The family farms its vines sustainably and works to bring out each terroir. In 2009 it finished a new winery at the bottom of the village, on land that was once a garden in the premier cru Les Mitans. Its largest wine is the Volnay village, blended from about twenty plots above and below the village, and the wines age for 16 to 18 months, with up to a quarter new oak for the premiers crus. ## What you will see Tastings take place at the family house in the heart of Volnay, where the range runs from the Volnay village to premiers crus such as Les Mitans and Les Caillerets, alongside wines from Pommard, Monthélie and Meursault. Prices for a visit and tasting range from €13 to €40, and the family can receive visitors in German, English and Italian as well as French. ## Planning your visit Allow about an hour. Visits are by appointment only, and the domaine is closed on Sundays and public holidays. The family house is on the rue de la Barre, by the village square of Volnay, a short walk from the church and the views over the vineyards. ## Did you know? The domaine's newest winery, finished in 2009, was built on land that was once a garden in the premier cru vineyard Les Mitans. ## Around Domaine Christophe Vaudoisey What to combine with Domaine Christophe Vaudoisey on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Volnay](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/volnay) (1 km away): A hillside village high above the vines, loved for the finesse of its red wines. - [Pommard](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/pommard) (1 km away): A red-wine village between Beaune and Volnay, known for deep, firm Pinot Noir. - [Monthélie](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/monthelie) (2 km away): A small hillside village between Volnay and Meursault, once compared to a village in Tuscany. ### Châteaux - [Château de la Commaraine](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-la-commaraine) (1 km away): A towered château in the heart of Pommard, set in its own walled Premier Cru vineyard. - [Château de Pommard](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-pommard) (1 km away): A Régence château of 1726 and a 20-hectare walled vineyard at the entrance to Pommard. - [Château de Monthelie](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-monthelie) (2 km away): An 18th-century château with a glazed tile roof, home of the Suremain family's wine estate. ### Things to do - [Domaine Lejeune](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-lejeune-pommard) (1 km away): A Pommard estate held by the same family since 1783, now farmed organically by a new generation. - [Domaine Michel Lahaye](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-michel-lahaye-pommard) (1 km away): A family estate on Pommard's church square, with a tasting room in its old stable and a log fire in winter. - [Domaine Michel Rebourgeon](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-michel-rebourgeon-pommard) (1 km away): A small family estate in Pommard, with premier cru vines ploughed by horse and a tasting cellar open every day. ### Restaurants - [Auprès du Clocher](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/aupres-du-clocher-pommard) (1 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Pommard's newly starred table, where the butcher's son cooks beside the church - [Le Carmin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-carmin-beaune) (5 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Christophe Quéant's poised, product-first cooking in a Renaissance house on place Carnot - [Clos du Cèdre](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/clos-du-cedre-beaune) (5 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A winemaker's mansion by Beaune's ramparts, with a starred kitchen and a cellar of over 1,000 wines ### Events - **Saturday 30 – Sunday 31 January 2027 (Confirmed by the organiser)** · [Saint-Vincent Tournante](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/saint-vincent-tournante): Burgundy's winter wine festival, hosted by a different village each January.
