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 nose is deep, profound and expressive whilst the palate is rich, structured, and brooding, revealing layers of mulled black and red fruits and earthy notes. Firm, robust tannins give the wine structure, balanced by ripe, sweet fruit. The finish is long, powerful and almost flinty, with subtle oak sweetness adding weight. This is a wine built for age.
All grapes are handpicked, sorted and destemmed before fermentation in tank and barrel, 20% of which is new.
