This is always a more brooding and powerful Volnay, reflecting the muscularity of the heavy clay and limestone soils across this 1.07hectare holding, planted between 1934 and 1985. Yields in 2024 were almost halved compared to 2023 with the 70 year old vines on cooler clay particularly affected by cold weather, poor flowering and early July mildew. Despite these challenges the result is outstanding.
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

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

Dense and concentrated black fruits with streaks of raspberry ripple, supple tannins and a silky quality to the fruit and mouthfeel. This is a sumptuous and weighty Volnay, its sheer weight of ripe fruits balanced by a precise freshness and dusty, earthy tannins and a long, fragrant and elegant finish.
