Les Maladières

(from two very large parcels of vines totaling over 3 ha)

fresh and driving finish

Note that this well-made effort is going to require at least a few years of patience first

which many consider to be the greatest vineyard on Hermitage Hill

Joseph Voillot, Pommard Pezerolles other_regions_italy Les Maladières(from a . 4 ha parcel planted in 1963). Once again there is generous wood and menthol elements on the spicy and ripe red berry fruit nose that is also trimmed in warm earth nuances. The refined, even lilting, medium weight flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality on the naturally sweet and lingering finish. This more obviously structured effort is almost delicate at present though I suspect that the mid palate will further flesh out with bottle age.
