The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Barre Monopole (Maison Louis Jadot) is a definite success, wafting from the glass with aromas of plummy fruit, wood smoke and spices, subtly framed by sweet new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent, its fine tannins cloaked in fleshy fruit. While these grapes are purchased, Jadot farms the vineyard.
