Louis Jadot Volnay Clos de la Barre Premier Cru 2015 750ml

This is an elegant yet fruity wine, with vanilla and violet aromas.

When opened young, this wine is perfect with roast meats and poultry. Drink an older vintage with mellow cheeses like Brie, Chaource or Reblochon. In great vintages, this wine will be very good with rich, red meat dishes.

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre has a more detailed and focused bouquet than the Santenots and en l'Ormeau, subtle sous-bois scents infusing the detailed red berry fruit mixed with cranberry and wild hedgerow. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with tart red cherries and raspberry, well structured and very focused. This shows the most class within the five Volnay 2015s that I tasted from Maison Louis Jadot. This is excellent. Barrel Sample: 92-94

Wholly controlled by the producer, this walled vineyard on the edge of Volnay village has made a beautifully concentrated, balanced wine. Still young, it already has ripe red fruits with shapely tannins and acidity to match. The smoky aftertaste adds to the complexity. Drink from 2022.
