Goedhuis, January 2014
Champans can be described as the growers’ “favourite”, situated plum in the middle of the village and the 1er Cru slopes. This is as benchmark as you can get for the village and Jean-Pierre has made fine example as you can get, with its lovely rounded strawberry fruit flavours, lively weight and delicious volume and concentration on the finish. Stunning.

Neal Martin, December 2013, Score: 89-91
The 2012 Volnay 1er Cru Les Champans is tighter and more linear than others at the moment: strict and broody. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm grip, nicely rounded in the mouth but for me, just missing the tension and vivacity of say, the Brouillards of Les Caillerets.

Jancis Robinson, January 2014, Score: 17
Sweet, opulent oak that will be off-putting for many. Interesting fruit character – raspberry and cherry – and soft, smooth tannic feel. Dry, savoury length. Drink 2014-2020

Domaine Joseph Voillot
The Voillots have been winemakers for 5 generations. They produce 17 appellations from 35 parcels in 10 hectares across 4 communes including Pommard and Volnay. Since 1995, Joseph's hearty and jolly son-in-law, Jean-Pierre Charlot, has taken over the domaine. His personality makes it worth the trip alone. Utterly sincere and fantastically funny, we always leave with a smile on our face. Luckily the wines are superb as well ...Read more

Utterly sincere and fantastically funny, we always leave with a smile on our face. Luckily the wines are superb as well - terroir-driven, classically styled and silky - they are hallmarks of top quality Côte de Beaune reds.Read less

Region
Volnay
A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
