Last week I had the 2016 Bourgogne from David Duband which was pretty but lean and restrained. This is veeeery different - I suppose more than anything due to the vintage - but is likewise a fantastic value and a downright delicious wine. I’m a bit scared of the vintage but this bottle encourages me to explore more - while fruity I can’t call this particularly ”solar”. I would buy more of this in a heartbeat but, alas, it is all gone now. Voillot has just won themselves a new fan.

2018 Domaine Joseph Voillot Bourgogne Vieilles Vignes - France, Burgundy, Bourgogne (5.5.2021)
Not surprisingly the nose does not lack in the fruit department at all. The ripe cherry fruit is pretty abundant but then does not come across as sweet/overripe in any way and actually there is a slight tart edge to it which I quite like. On the palate medium-bodied with pretty nice concentration and volume. Sports good - no, great - fruit akin to the nose and is pretty clearly fruit-forward but also has what I think is fantastic acidity and a bit of tannic grip. Firmly textured, vibrant . The finish is mouthwatering and long and absolutely delicious. Holy hell this is tasty and convincing stuff, I am pretty blown away by how good a wine this is all things considered.
