Voillot/Joseph Pommard 1er cru Pézerolles 2020

94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "While a year younger in average age than the Epenots, this wine saw a good dollop of one-third new oak. It has more grip and more substance to handle it. The tannins even have a lightly gruff edge to them, but there's a lovely plumpness of fruit in the mid-palate, which is thick with black plums, licorice and cola. 2025-35. (2022)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "Matured in 30% new oak, the 2020 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru has a distinctly floral bouquet with pressed iris petals infusing the black cherries and raspberry fruit. This vineyard was acutely affected by the lack of rainfall according to Étienne Chaix, yielding half the normal crop as a consequence there is a lot of concentration here. Dense and powerful on the finish, this is very well balanced with just a touch of spice on the finish. Superb. Closure: Diam 5. Drink: 2025-2045. (Dec 2021)"

92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Pommard 'Pézerolles' from Domaine Voillot will be another long-distance runner for long-term cellaring, but it was more hunkered down at the time of my visit and not as obviously on form as the Epenots. The wine is pure and plenty deep on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet offering up scents of black cherries, cassis, espresso, bonfire, gamebird, a touch of balsamic overtones and just a bit of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, sappy and full, with a very black fruity personality, firm tannins and a long, ripe and youthful finish. This seems right on the border of being too ripe, but it is too early on in its evolution to say that this will end up overtly marked by sur maturité, as this may well just always be a big, ripe and sappy wine that never strays over the line into overripeness. Time will tell, but this bottling has such a fine track record from the domaine that I am inclined to stay optimistic of it evolving along the lines of one of the successful 1990 red Burgundies, rather than becoming dramatically overripe in personality with bottle age. 2032-2085. (Nov/Dec 2021)"
