Domaine Violot-Guillemard boasts a fine collection of terroirs, and makes straightforward wines in a classic style, without yeast, with a long ageing period of sixteen to twenty months. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2014, when son Joannes arrived. He took charge of the estate with the 2019 vintage. He is moving towards a viticulture where ploughing will be limited to spare the vines and help them produce more beautiful fruit.

About

This excellent Pommard comes from vines with an average age of 70 years, and benefits from one of the best positions in the village, along with Rugiens.

Your questions, our answers.

Why choose Les Epenots to discover a Pommard premier cru?

The shop presents Les Epenots as one of the village’s finest sites, alongside Rugiens. It is therefore an option for discovering Pommard through a particularly highly regarded site, without allowing us to assume the precise style of this 2021.

Do 70-year-old vines necessarily indicate a powerful wine?

No, their average age alone is not enough to infer the wine’s power or concentration. It is a noteworthy feature of this cuvée, but no tasting notes have been provided to specify its texture or intensity.

Does the Parker score of 90 help decide when to open this bottle?

This score is a point of reference for assessing the wine, not an indication of its maturity. Without tasting notes or a drinking window, it is not enough to decide between opening it now and letting it age longer.

How should I choose between this 2021 Epenots and Antoine Jobard’s 2022?

Both bottles bear the same premier cru name, but they differ in producer and vintage. The information provided does not allow us to say that one will be softer, more structured, or more ready to drink than the other; comparative tasting notes would be needed to choose based on these criteria.

For what occasion should I include this bottle in a tasting?

It can serve as a point of comparison in a tasting of 2021 Pommard wines, alongside the Pommard from Domaine du Cerberon or Les Vignots from Domaine Billard, both listed in the catalogue. Keeping to the same vintage makes it possible to focus on discovering the different cuvées and producers, without presuming differences in taste.
