This is a glorious Premier Cru Volnay, from a stand-out vintage and the great winemaker Jean-Pierre Charlot. He is a shining star of the appellation and Champans is one of Volnay's finest vineyards. Silky, elegant, floral with very pretty ripe fruit.

The Wine
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. Expert Michel Bettane wrote, “Jean-Pierre Charlot has vinified some of the finest and most balanced wines of Volnay and Pommard." He's now passing on his expertise to his nephew Etienne Chaix. They employ sustainable techniques in the vineyard and always apply a gentle hand in the cellar. 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.
