Note di degustazione
(just nine hectoliters per hectare produced): Good dark red. Imploded nose hints at black cherry, licorice and menthol; shows less lift and perfume than the Santenots. Then reasonably supple and sweet if in a more brooding style, showing an element of coffee oak to go with its cherry and menthol qualities. Finishes with firm, dusty tannins. A reasonably ripe wine, but less relaxed and pliant than the Santenots.

The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre had a very slight reduction on the nose, slightly meaty but there is plenty of fruit here. Maybe there is just a faint touch of brettanomyces? The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, good depth and body here although like the Santenots, I would be seeking more detail and terroir expression on the finish.
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
