2019 Joseph Voillot Pommard 1er Cru "Les Epenots", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Wine from the Petits Epenots terroir. Lower slope, shallow soil of Jurassic limestone and white marl.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
This venerable fifth-generation domaine has holdings in the top vineyards of both Volnay and Pommard. Joseph Voillot's son-in-law, Jean Pierre Charlot, is now the managing director; he worked closely with Joseph from 1980 until Josephâs retirement in 1995.
For many years, Jean Pierre was a professor at the LycĂ©e Viticole in Beaune, where he taught several of Burgundyâs rising stars. Heâs a meticulous man, and what interests him is handling the challenging years when the vineyard work, triage at harvest, and careful cellar practices really pay off. Itâs immediately evident when tasting through the domaineâs range that these are true âvins de terroirâ (thus the judicious use of new oak), and each wine at every level reflects its origin. Anyone who wants to grasp the essence of Volnay and Pommard needs to look no further than Domaine Joseph Voillot.
