Having battled the flood of 2000, Charlot then faced the hail of 2001... Black fruits and pepper can be discerned in the aromas of the 2001 Volnay (this wine also contains the estate's declassified Brouillards). Light to medium-bodied and satin-textured, it displays appealing red and black fruits in its delicate character. Drink it over the next 2 years.
Jean-Pierre Charlot has instituted a number of changes at Domaine Joseph Voillot in recent years, all for the best. He's lowered yields by pruning, harvests later to achieve better ripeness, installs sorting tables at the end of each row of vines to reject any unripe or moldy clusters, and has abandoned fining as well as filtration. It is immensely gratifying to see that Charlot, formerly an oenology teacher at Beaune's Lycee Viticole, is open to new ideas. Domaine Joseph Voillot's wines have never been better, readers should expect to see great things in the future from this old estate.
