Domaine Joseph Voillot

This domaine has been producing wine now for five generations, but it is since the present owner, Jean Pierre Charlot, son-in-law of Joseph Voillot, took control that it has moved into the league of serious wine producers. The domaine consists of 10ha of vineyards, with holdings in the top vineyards of both Volnay and Pommard, including some prized sites in several 1er Crus. The grapes are partially destemmed and the wines matured in oak barrels (20-35% new) for 12-18 months.

Pommard is normally dense, muscular and angular – this is a revelation! A dense, richly sweet and powerful Pinot, showing a beguiling lush quality both in fruit and structure. A palate of mulled black fruits, sweet cherry, cassis, tobacco and a flinty minerality that hints at the limestone and marl soils, opens to a supple and refined structure. There is sinew, but this is wrapped around the core of plush black fruit and sweet oak. Very fine – an age-worthy wine.
Aged in 20% new oak barrels for 12 months.
