Jean Vaudoisey - Meursault Les Corbins 2021

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

2021 Meursault: From vines that were replanted after the frost of 2016.
Width, good shape and a leading edge of interest. Supple, generous but always with a ripeness of fruit – actually quite sweet but long too.

Romain on 2021: “As noted, 2021 was just half a harvest. The wines are still in barrel and will be racked soon – I don’t think the wines will need long ageing so I’ll be bottling begore the end of the year. We didn’t have a lot of grapes but we didn’t hesitate to trie hard! It’s the third small vintage in a row, so we have nothing left to sell at the domaine ” -- Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report

Romain Poirrotte is the new, super-fresh face of this old Volnay domaine. Jean Vaudoisey is Romain’s grandfather and Romain, the 6th generation of this side of the family (since 1806) has taken on this 7 hectare family domaine from the 2015 vintage onward...Romain’s 7 hectares, include regional wines, Volnay, Volnay 1er Cru, Pommard, and a little Meursault too; Meursault that’s sited next to Santenots close to Meursault’s camping place.

Romain explains that he’s often worked with his grandfather and thought it fitting that the domaine stays with his name – Jean Vaudoisey. Triage is in the vines and again afterwards at the domaine, then all destemmed. Romain said the first thing he did was to buy a new pneumatic press, as it was sure to make a big difference! Romain hopes some of the former clientele of his grandfather will remain, but expects it won’t be so difficult to sell his wines. -- Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
