Voillot’s 2011s have turned out beautifully, showing good near-term accessibility but also sufficient structure to develop positive characteristics over the longer term. This old vine bottling from Pommard shows lifted aromatics that include a lovely floral topnote, leading to moderately robust flavors marked by red fruit notes with accents of damp earth and spices. Fresh and focused, but already easy to enjoy with food.
