Louis Jadot Volnay Clos de la Barre Premier Cru 2019

Louis Jadot Volnay Clos de la Barre Premier Cru offers mature red fruit aromas from its southern exposure. Made from Pinot Noir, the palate is rich and well structured, combining generous fruit with firm tannins and a balanced profile designed to develop with bottle age.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with roast beef, lamb stew, coq au vin, game birds, or mature cheeses.

Clos de la Barre is a 1.32ha monopole of Jadot in fermage from its Parisian owners. The site is located at the entrance to the village and it ripens fruit early, easily and well. The result is a classic expression of Volnay, with lush, forward, expressive cassis fruit, yet it is not lacking in tannin.

The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre Monopole (Maison Louis Jadot) is more structured than the Mitans, bursting with aromas of plums, candied peel, spices and toasty new oak. Medium-bodied, chalky and a little reserved on this showing, I expect it to round out nicely. Range: 90-92.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Louis Jadot Volnay Clos de La Barre is fresh, bright, and lively. The wine stays generous on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows a lovely mineral-scented start as it offers black fruit, anise, and savory spices in its flavors. Try it with lamb stew. (Tasted: February 17, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
