What Is a Monopole? The Case of Volnay

Duration: 24 min

Behind a handful of centuries-old stone walls in the small Burgundy village of Volnay sits something almost no other appellation on earth can claim: eleven vineyards owned outright, top to bottom, by a single producer each. In Burgundy — where most vineyards are famously carved up among dozens of growers — that's about as rare as it gets.

In this episode, we break down exactly what a monopole is and why it matters, then walk clos by clos through all eleven of Volnay's — from Domaine de la Pousse d'Or's trio of Bousse d'Or, 60 Ouvrées and Audignac, to the Marquis d'Angerville's iconic Clos des Ducs, to the unwalled outlier, Les Grands Champs, that proves a monopole is defined by ownership, not masonry. Along the way: which noble family built the original château these clos are named after, why one of them is leased out to négociant house Louis Jadot rather than farmed by its own owner, and what it actually means for a buyer, collector, or sommelier to put money down on a wine with nowhere else to hide.
