Louis Jadot Description
Volnay lies roughly in the center of the Côte de Beaune, bordered by Pommard to the Northeast, Monthélie to the West and Meursault to the South. The southeasterly exposed vineyards produce only red wines and 26 Premiers Crus. Crowned by a limestone plateau, the Volnay vineyards have a sub soil composed of Argovien marlstone and in its bordering parts of Pommard and Meursault, a Bathonien clay and limestone scree. The altitude varies between 230 and 370 meters above sea level.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru en l'Ormeau has a slight savory edge on the nose: vibrant red berry fruit, a hint of cured meat perhaps, almost ferrous. The palate is supple on the entry with a seductive roundness, fine tannins (perhaps finer than the Santenots) with a very cohesive and convincing, sorbet-fresh finish. What a gorgeous Volnay! This comes highly recommended.
