Joseph Voillot 2023 Volnay Vieilles Vignes, Burgundy

The Joseph Voillot domaine, founded in the 18^th century, is located in the center of the town of Volnay and its winemaker for the past decade has been Joseph Voillot’s grandson, Etienne Chaix.  This old-vine bottling is a blend of six different plots, the oldest planted in 1930.  The appearance is gorgeous, with a translucent ruby color.  Ample fruit in the wine, yet it isn’t heavy at all.  Subtlety is the calling card here, with clean flavors and a very true character.
