Voillot/Joseph Pommard 1er cru Pèzerolles 2016

93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The domaine owns just over forty ares of vines in Pézerolles, with the parcel just over fifty years of age. The 2016 Pézerolles here is a great example of this underrated terroir (one of the most elegant premier crus in Pommard), offering up a deep and very pure bouquet of red plums, cherries, a nice touch of mustard seed, raw cocoa, venison, dark soil tones and a whisper of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a nice sense of sappiness, fine transparency, ripe, seamless tannins and a long, vibrant and nascently complex finish. This is first class Pézerolles! 2028-2065. (Mar/Apr 2018)”

93 points William Kelley (Decanter): “The Pèzerolles, with its signature aromas of spice, is always one of the most distinctive wines in the Voillot cellar, and in 2016 those telltale scents mingle with notions of blood orange and red berries. The wine is quite full-bodied, with a good core of crunchy fruit and a fine chassis of chalky, savoury tannin. Drinking Window: 2026-2040. (Oct 2017)”
