Joseph Voillot is a superb, sixth generation family estate that is meticulous in producing wines which speak clearly of fruit and terroir, while avoiding layers of showy new oak. Winemaker today is Joseph’s son-in-law Jean Pierre Charlot – in the past he taught at Beaune’s wine college, where students included some of Burgundy’s rising stars. Michel Bettane wrote, “Jean-Pierre Charlot has vinified some of the finest and most balanced wines of Volnay and Pommard." He is now passing on his expertise to his nephew Etienne Chaix. Steeply sloping Champans is one of the most highly regarded vineyards of Volnay. From a seductive vintage, this wine is great with game or rich mushroom dishes. Best to let it breathe. It will further develop with age.
