Description

The Ballot-Millot estate has been located in Meursault since the seventeenth century. Charles Ballot, who took over the reins in 2000, outlawed chemical weeding and introduced soil ploughing. By modernising the company's production tools, Charles Ballot can offer cuvées of great regularity on prestigious Burgundy appellations. With plots located in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune, the wines of this historic house are gaining ground and come alongside the most beautiful references of this terroir.

Taille Pieds (sometimes "Taillepieds" or "Les Taillepieds") is a highly regarded Premier Cru climat of the Volnay appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune sub-region. It is planted entirely to Pinot Noir and lies a stone's throw southwest of Volnay village.

Review

This is certainly one of the more concentrated Volnays of the vintage, but the richness and plummy, mulberry fruity concentration is balanced by some freshness and spice from 30% whole bunches. The acidity comes through on the finish, which is farmed by scented 20% new wood. Plush and textured with a backbone of firmish tannins.
