It is a wine that allows one to discover the personality of a prized parcel, capable of expressing the noble face of Pommard.

Premier Cru Les Pezerolles Pommard comes from a family-owned winery that has been cultivating vineyards in Burgundy for 6 generations. Domaine Joseph Voillot covers 6 hectares, divided into many plots. Pinot Noir grapes come exclusively from a parcel located in the Premier Cru of Les Pézerolles, which is located in the northeastern part of the Pommard communal area, towards the border with Beaune. The vineyard is almost 60 years old and is cultivated in a mid-hill area, characterized by soils composed of limestone marl. The grapes are rigorously selected, first in the vineyard during manual harvesting and then on the sorting table before vinification. After destemming, the grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts and a maceration of two to three weeks. The wine matures in French oak barrels, with 10-15% new wood.

The bouquet is rich with aromas of currants, morello cherries, strawberries, hints of underbrush, spices and noble woods. The sip is deep and intense, with remarkable aromatic richness and a long, harmonious and persistent finish.
