RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Ripe, sporting plenty of black fruit--black cherry, blackberry--but also violet aromas and flavors. It's elegant and well-balanced, with density but also harmony.

91-92The Wine Advocate

This medium-bodied wine is concentrated, deep, and intense. Blueberries, blackberries, boysenberries, and notes of tar can be found in its impressive personality.

87-90Burghound.com

A toasty black berry and cherry fruit nose leads to exceptionally ripe, rich, round and sweet, indeed opulent and exotic flavors that remain quite fine on the mouth coating and persistent finish.

PRODUCER

Joseph Voillot

Domaine Joseph Voillot is in Volnay. The 25-acre estate has been owned and operated by the Voillot family for five generations. Today it is run by Jean Pierre Charlot, son-in-law of Joseph Voillot. The estate has Premier Cru parcels in Volnay, Pommard and Meursault, as well as village parcels. There are estate cellars in Volnay and Pommard. Clive Coates notes that Charlot, a trained oenologist, “makes very good wines.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Pommard, Les Pezerolles

Les Pezerolles is a 15-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Pommard appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. Since there are no Grand Crus in Pommard, the Premier Crus have special importance. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “Pommard at its best is the fullest wine made in the Cote de Beaune.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
