2022 Jadot Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre
Grape
Pinot Noir
Its Origins
In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
What The Critics Say
94/100 Decanter, Charles Curtis MW
"Once again, this precocious site was the first to be picked, and the lush, ripe fruit has delivered a silky forward blackberry aroma with an edge of rose petals and spice. The texture is velvety and soft, with a very approachable feel and a mouth-filling density that augurs well for ageing. The grapes were destemmed and gently fermented, and the wine is now ageing in cask (one-third new), where it will stay until next spring. This wine should be approachable relatively early and age for a decade or more." Drink 2025 - 2050
94/100 James Suckling
"Grown in a real clos that is surrounded by high stone walls, this powerful and structured wine is built to improve with age. Firm but fine tannins and good acidity support fresh cranberry, sour cherry and cinnamon flavors. Great tension in the texture and a medium body. Best after 2028."
91-93/100 Parkers Wine Advocate, William Kelley
"The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre Monopole (Maison Louis Jadot) has turned out especially well this year, offering up aromas of plums, cherries and sweet berries mingled with hints of orange zest and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, its ample core of fruit largely conceals its sweet structuring tannins, segueing into a saline finish."
