Description:
Red Wine by Louis Jadot from Burgundy, France - regions. Volnay lies roughly in the center of the Cote de Beaune, bordered by Pommard to the Northeast, Monthelie to the West and Meursault to the South. The south-easterly exposed vineyards produce only red wines and 26 Premiers Crus. The soil is extremely thin, chalky, high in calcium and yields the lightest most delicate wines. The strip below, where most of the Premiers Crus are located, is much lower in chalk with a thin iron-rich layer covering a strong subsoil. Nice aromas of red berries and violets, and some pepper. A young Volnay Clos des Chênes will be perfect with poultry or roasted meat. In a great vintage, it will also match game very well. The Clos des Chênes, can easily be kept 8 to 12 years in a good cellar.
