Thierry Violot-Guillemard Premier Cru, Pommard-Epenots

Thierry Violot-Guillemard has long been regarded as one of Pommard’s most thoughtful vignerons, with deep family roots in the Côte de Beaune. His Premier Cru Pommard-Epenots comes from a celebrated site on the mid-slope, where the clay-limestone soils consistently yield wines of both power and finesse. In the cellar, Thierry works with a clear focus on balance: meticulous sorting, fermentation with native yeasts, and élevage in French oak barrels, with a careful proportion of new oak to frame rather than dominate. The result is a wine that speaks directly of its terroir. Each vintage brings a recognisable profile – aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, and subtle earth, supported by spice and a mineral thread. On the palate, expect firm structure with ripe fruit at its core, layered with savoury depth and a persistent finish. This is Pommard that combines tradition with precision, offering reliability and long-term appeal.
