Louis Jadot : Volnay 1er cru "Clos de la Barre" Monopole 2018

Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with spices and cherries, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre Monopole (Maison Louis Jadot) is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a pretty, delicately herbal core of fruit.

The lift and freshness of tart red cherry on this wine's nose has a rare hint of raspberry. The palate comes in with energetic, glossy flow, still slightly impeded by fine and youthful tannins on the concentrated, toned body. But freshness creates the drive and propels that depth of flavor.
