Skip to product information
Les Épenots is a premier cru vineyard in Pommard, and Domaine Georges Joillot farms 0.36 hectares of it on clay and limestone soils facing south to south-east, with vines of about 70 years. The estate was founded at Pommard in 1929 by Robert Joillot; his grandson Jean-Luc took over in the early 1980s with six hectares and ran it for close to forty years as Domaine Jean-Luc Joillot, and the name changed to Domaine Georges Joillot only from the 2019 vintage, in memory of Jean-Luc's father Georges. Jeanne Joillot, Grégoire Guidot and Simon Goutard, the fourth generation, run it today, with Simon Goutard responsible for the vinifications since 2015. Farming is lutte raisonnée. Grapes are fully destemmed and vatted in concrete for 15 to 20 days, then aged 12 to 14 months in Burgundy barrels of which 20 to 30 per cent are new, and bottled in winter without filtration. The 2020 vintage, at 14% alcohol, shows dark fruit, violet perfume and a firm tannic frame. Serve with roast lamb, duck breast or a mature Époisses.
