Producer

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.

Tasting Notes

This scored very highly – very ripe, very forward, very intense – a richly structured and decadent Volnay, showing weight, supple yet tightening tannins, streaks of pureed black fruits, ironstone, spice and oak. The character is suae, generous and supple, yet there is a brooding sense of power within the finish. Concentrated and very long on the finish.

Vinification

1 plot of 0.6Ha, first planted in 1932, picked by hand and fermented in tank, before maturing in 25% new oak for 12 months.
