Voillot/Joseph Pommard Vieilles Vignes 2018

91 points Tim Atkin, MW.

90-91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2018 Pommard ‘Vieilles Vignes’ from Domaine Joseph Voillot had settled in a bit more from its racking than the Volnay villages, offering up a precise and promising bouquet of black cherries, dark berries, venison, woodsmoke, a good base of soil, just a touch of oak and a nice dollop of mustard seed in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely transparent, with a great core of pure fruit, ripe, buried tannins and excellent length and grip on the very well-balanced finish. This is a proper young Pommard and will need a good decade to blossom, but it has fine potential. 2028-2055. (Nov/Dec 2019)”

90 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): “As usual, the 2018 Pommard Vieilles Vignes is a touch more muscular than the corresponding Volnay, but it’s no less refined this year, delivering aromas of plums, cherries and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety, nicely concentrated palate. Drink: 2025-2045. (Jan 2021)”

90 points Neal Martin (Vinous): “[$86 list] The 2018 Pommard Vieilles Vignes has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with iris petals and a touch of rose infusing the mixture of red and black fruit, a little earthy in style. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip on the entry, fine structure and a tad more expressive than the Volnay at this precise time. Good length here with a tingle on the tongue after the wine has departed. Drink: 2023-2036. (Dec 2020)”
