2007 Joseph Voillot
I was at a tasting yesterday of 2007 Joseph Voillot wines. Voillot is
based in Volnay but has holdings in Pommard also. No mistaking the connection between the wines as the style was consistant across the board. Voillot makes a fairly small amount of these wines from a total of about 30 acres consisting of 10 1er red burgundies from Volany and Pommard, a Village wine from each and a Bourgogne. Judicious use of oak allowed for the flavors to be fairly transparent. The wines were all quite light in color verging on Rose. The Volnay was lithe and elegant with a striking minerality whi8le the Pommard was more earthy in nature. All the wines possessed a firm acidic backbone and were all quite enjoyable. The Bourgogne was especially tasty and with a price of $25 in Ohio it was a real bargain. The wines tasted we Bourgogne Volnay Village Pommard Village Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Pommard Clos Micault 1er Volnay Les Champans 1er Volnay Les Fremiets 1er Overall the crowd favorite was the Pommard Les Pezerolles while my personal favorite was the Volnay Les Champans. The Bourgogne was a real crowd pleaser though. |
