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

Produced from 8 plots totaling just under 2ha, the ‘vieilles vignes’ average over 40 years old. With only one new barrel used this means slightly less than 5% new oak in the cuvee. This is such a suave wine, with black fruit aromas and a palate of fresh black cherries providing a charming elegance. The tannins are succulent and support the wine beautifully whilst a hint of spice and hedgerow on the finish provides added dimension.

Food Matches

Great with pan fried duck breast with a cherries and port.
