Domaine Voillot

Joseph Voillot resides in Volnay but has cellars both in Volnay and Pommard. He now has around 10 hectares of vineyards, including holdings in 10 premier cru sites spread across Volnay, Pommard and Meursault.

Yields from the 25-35 year-old vines are tightly restricted and the grapes are partially de-stemmed before being fermented with a cuvaison of around 9 days. The wines are then matured in oak barriques (20-35% new) for 12-18 months. The wines are bottled unfinned.

These are classically-made Burgundies that benefit from medium-term cellaring, with the best examples rivalling the wines from the grander, better known Côte de Beaune producers.
