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.
This vineyard is situated to the right as you enter Pommard from Beaune. Aged in 30% new oak, this is an opulent wine full of cassis, mulberry and dark cherries. The tannins are succulent and support well. An underbelly of crème de mure enriches the wine but there is also the level of sophistication that you would expect from a 1er cru.
Great with duck breast with lavender beetroot and sweet potato.
