Tasting notes
The 2017 Volnay Clos de la Barre 1er Cru (where half the vineyard was planted in 2011) has a perfumed, generous bouquet of ample ripe red cherries, wild strawberry and subtle brine-like aromas that are very well defined. The palate is ripe and fleshy on the entry, offering good depth and flesh, with layers of raspberry coulis , crushed strawberry, fig and white pepper toward the ample, persistent finish. Superb.

The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre Monopole (Maison Louis Jadot) is a definite success, wafting from the glass with aromas of plummy fruit, wood smoke and spices, subtly framed by sweet new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent, its fine tannins cloaked in fleshy fruit. While these grapes are purchased, Jadot farms the vineyard.
Monopole. Cask sample. Bright crimson. Light, rather vegetal nose. And then a massive whack of ripe fruit on the palate. This should certainly age well. Lots to get your teeth into here. (JR)

About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
