Origins

The village of Volnay lies to the south of Pommard, between two hills that protect it from the wind, on one of the highest points of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy.

Vines were already grown here in Gallo-Roman times. In the Middle Ages, Volnay was a summer residence of the Dukes of Burgundy and later of the Dukes. The Knights Templar owned property and vines in Volnay, which were then bequeathed in the 14th century to the Brotherhood of the Blessed Sacrament, founded by Philip the Bold. The typicality of these wines made from Pinot Noir grapes was recognised and mentioned as early as the beginning of the 18th century, and appellation status was established in 1937.

The origin of the name Robardelle comes from the location of this Premier Cru, not far from the old Roman road and quarries where highwaymen (robarts) could make a quick getaway.
