THIERRY & JOANNES VIOLOT-GUILLEMARD

The beginnings of this Domaine date back to the early 20th century, when founder Joannés Faivre began growing vines in Pommard. Today the estate comprises of excellent vineyards along the entire Côte de Beaune which have been farmed organically for many years. Joannes Violot, who now works with father Thierry seems to bring even more precision to the wines. These are especially subtle and complex Pinot Noirs which stand in stark contrast to the proverbial powerful and earthy expression of Pommard one reads about in books. These are classic Burgundies in the best sense of the word, full of silky fruit and charming red fruit aromatics. From the 2019 vintage the wines are released under the ‘Joannes Violot-Guillemard’ label.
