Les Champans: This 11.19 hectare Premier Cru climat lies south of the village of Volnay, downhill from Les Taillepieds, southeast of the RN 73. Facing east, southeast from on a moderately steep slope varying between 250-280 meters, the clay-limestone soil is shallow and rocky. Good sources of Les Champans include Domaine de Montille and Marquis d’Angerville.
The name derives from the local description for a sloping field.
