The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre has a clean and precise bouquet with Morello cherry, strawberry and a touch of dried orange peel, all nicely defined. The palate is clean and fresh with good acidity. Structured, perhaps more grippy and more masculine than Jadot's other Volnay, it is just a little brutish towards the finish at the moment. Hopefully it will gain more composure by the time of bottling.
