Mitans has been officially noted as a superior site since 1236! Very famous for its elegance, and from it Benjamin, using the considerable Volnay experience he amassed at the helm of Domaine du Comte Armand, delivers a 1er cru of seamless balance, with power at its core and notes of lightly roasted coffee and vibrant floral notes lifting the rich red fruit centre. Superb.

2020 Domaine Joseph Voillot, Volnay, Vieilles Vignes 6x75cl
Domaine Joseph Voillot holds 10 hectares of vineyards spanning the communes of Volnay and Pommard. Jean Pierre Charlot’s wines offer understatement and elegance, and in 2020 they have also... delivered fruit richness and an intensity rarely captured in Volnay and Pommard. These wines are impossible to ignore, showing modern classicism whilst perfectly expressing the wine’s unique terroirs. These are wines which speak so eloquently of their individual sites and are the essence of pinot noir. For buyers keen to experience the purity and poise of Volnay and Pommard in a great vintage, look no further than Domaine Joseph Voillot.
Voillot's Volnay Villages cuvée is not only a great alliteration but more importantly the epitome of everything the commune is famous for, with its expressive, floral nose, juicy, fresh red fruit and silky texture. Perfect for 7 to 10 years' ageing and a most apt introduction into the pleasure of delicate yet seductive red Burgundy.

2020 Dominique Lafon, Volnay 6x75cl
Already responsible for some of the very finest white wines in the world at his family Domaine in Meursault, and for some of the best value the world of wine has to offer in their Maconnais outfit;... Dominique Lafon has also been making his own wines for 11 years now, from vineyards he either owns or manages. The Dominique Lafon wines, produced at the Château de Bligny winery, are superb, showing the value of Dominique’s talent, experience and meticulous attention to detail. Simply, these are wines produced by one of the worlds greatest vinous talents.
Bordering Meursault, the cool and late-ripening " Les Lurets" vineyard provides the excellent, perfumed and delicately structured fruit for this cuvée. Elegant and perfect with 5 years' ageing.

2018 Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Premier Cru, Les Mitans 6x75cl
"Dark-fruited and elegant nose. A touch peppery but with a dark restraint at the moment. Sweeter fruited on the palate than on the nose, creamy texture, caressing and round but with lovely freshness. Juicy but dry at the same time, terrific freshness and persistence in a baby wine." Julia Harding MW, 11/19, 17 pts.

2019 Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Premier Cru, Les Mitans 6x75cl
"Medium deep purple, lighter rim, with an immediate lift to the bouquet, a few whole bunches, but not many. Pretty ripe on the palate, a touch of heat and not so much middleground, finishes quite well." Jasper Morris MW, 11/2020, 90-92 pts.

2020 Comte Armand, Volnay Premier Cru, Fremiets 6x75cl
*ON ALLOCATION - £408 per case of 6 bottles IB*
One of the very finest producers in all of Burgundy, Domaine du Comte Armand is approaching its 200th anniversary very much at the top of its game.... After Pascal Marchant from 1985 to 1998, Benjamin Leroux from 1999 to 2013, Paul Zinetti is the third highly talented winemaker at the helm of this grand estate, and he is producing wines of rare depth, purity and character. The monumental Clos des Epeneaux, for a long time the only wine produced here, still gives the best Grands Crus a run for their money, but just as impressive is the unbeatable value delivered by the Auxey-Duresses cuvées and the delicacy and perfume of the Volnays. You can't go wrong at this address.

2020 Benjamin Leroux, Volnay Premier Cru, Les Mitans 6x75cl
Benjamin has been a good friend of ours since his days at Comte Armand, and his powerful, impressive winemaking style shines through in 2020 where concentration meets with backbone and guile in the... Volnay commune. He remembers his first ever visit to the UK back in 1999 where he spent some time staying with Richard Wheeler (Johnny's father, sadly passed away last year), memorable not least for the friendly dispute regarding the relative merits of local Mersea native Oysters versus their French counterparts! Benjamin’s Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans reflects the greatest attributes of this excellent vintage. Density, richness and structure are all to the fore in a cuvée which gets better with every passing vintage.

2020 Sylvie Esmonin, Volnay Premier Cru, Santenots 6x75cl
Although firmly based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Sylvie also does a mere 0.17 hectares of this Volnay Premier Cru. And making wines of such maturity and complexity as she does in the Cote d'Or, here her... rendering of pinot noir planted on Les Santenots' clay-rich terroir makes for a full-bodied wine, velvety in texture and cleanly defined. Fresh violets on the nose, lots of black cherry and mild spice with finely tuned tannins on the palate, it retains great freshness, depth and length finishing up.

2021 Domaine Joseph Voillot, Volnay Premier Cru, Les Caillerets 6x75cl
Superb structure, wonderfully elegant and such a long finish, all led by the stunning minerality so often associated with the Caillerets vineyard, this is a very, very fine and slightly more muscular... expression of Volnay, bridging the gap somewhat with the Domaine's pommard cuvées stylistically, yet retaining the fine grain to the tannins and the poised elegance one expects from Volnay. This needs time in the bottle and will age gracefully for next couple of decades. A stunning Vonay 1er Cru.

2017 Domaine Joseph Voillot, Volnay Premier Cru, Fremiets 6x75cl
"Perfumed, appealing and showing well from barrel, this may not keep for a long time, but it will be a pleasure to drink in its youth. With rose petal and strawberry-coulis notes augmented by aromatic 10% new oak, this is textured, sappy and juicy with enough underlying acidity for balance." 93 pts., Tim Atkins MW, decanter.com
