2021 Pommard: Vaumuriens, Chanlins and Riottes. A broad nose, it suggests a little gas. Hmm, I love the energy here but there’s concentration too – none of the acidity sticking out. Again a sense of tannin but without grain. Finishing very well. Lovely villages.

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
