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.

The wine is deep in colour, with a ripe and expressive nose. On the palate, it is rich and explosive, smoky and dense yet balanced at every level. Layers of boiled red fruits mingle with brooding tannins and integrated sweet oak conveying remarkable power, depth, and concentration. A bright, lifting freshness keeps the wine poised whilst the long and lingering finish confirms its exceptional harmony and precision.
No new oak used for this vintage.
