Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
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.
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)
