Tasting Notes

"This 0.25ha block on the classic Roland-Garros red soils of Les Rugiens-Bas has just celebrated its sixtieth birthday. Wines from the Premier Cru can be a little tannic and austere in their youth, but this is very much a Pommard made with a Volnay sensibility. Red fruits, fine-boned tannins, some ferrous grip and beautifully weighted 20% new wood make this a Rugiens that can be enjoyed after a few years of bottle age.”

95 Points - Tim Atkin MW, Decanter Magazine, October 2018

"The 2018 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has an engaging classic bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry, sous-bois and blood orange that all blossom with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, beautifully interwoven tannins, seamless in texture with veins of blue fruit towards the long finish. What a fabulous Pommard from the Domaine - this comes highly recommended. Vrai Pommard!”

94 Points - Neil Martin, Vinous Media, December 2020

The Producer

Joseph Voillot

Joseph Voillot, a venerable fifth-generation estate, possesses vineyards in the premier locations of both Volnay and Pommard. Currently, the managing director is Joseph Voillot's son-in-law, Jean Pierre Charlot, who collaborated closely with Joseph from 1980 until Joseph's retirement in 1995.

For many years, Jean Pierre served as a professor at the Lycée Viticole in Beaune, where he instructed several of Burgundy's up-and-coming talents. He is a meticulous individual, particularly drawn to navigating the challenging years when vineyard work, harvest sorting, and precise cellar practices yield significant results. Upon tasting the range of wines from the estate, it becomes immediately apparent that these are authentic expressions of terroir, a testament to the careful use of new oak. Each wine, at every tier, faithfully reflects its place of origin. To truly understand the essence of Volnay and Pommard, one need look no further than Domaine Joseph Voillot.
