Louis Jadot 2009 Clos de la Barre Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
- Cellar Selection
- $68
The walled Clos de la Barre is a Jadot monopoly. This 2009 has great depth of flavor, hinting at the Volnay richness while remaining structured. That makes it a concentrated wine, red and black fruits mingling with wood and intense acidity. For long-term aging over six years and more.

Domaine Michel Lafarge 2006 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
- Cellar Selection
Tannic and structured, chunky in style and texture. There are smoky flavors, acidity, berry fruits and black cherries as well as richness. There is a certain severity here, the wine passing through a firm stage before developing further complexity. Age for another six years.

Xavier Monnot 2005 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
- Cellar Selection
- $76
The great Clos des Chênes has produced a finely structured wine. It offers both beautiful red fruits that spread luxuriously in the mouth, and a dark, solid core of dry tannins that promise aging. The balance is impeccable, just the right amount of fresh, juicy acidity adding its lift to the mix.

Domaine Michel Lafarge 2007 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
A delectable, perfumed wine, with sweet and intense fruit flavors and a soft, velvet character. Soft Pinot Noir, full of black fruits, plums and red cherries. Needs medium-term aging, perhaps four years.

Louis Jadot 2005 Clos de la Barre Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
This wine’s dark red color is a giveaway for its power. There are plenty of solid fruits as well as dark tannins, but they are wrapped in a velvet coat of ripeness and sumptuous textures. Strawberries, with just a touch of sweetness, are found on the finish of this delicious wine.

Domaine Jacques Prieur 2009 Clos de Santenots Pinot Noir (Volnay)
- Cellar Selection
- $149
This monopole (single owner vineyard) has produced a wine of great depth and concentration, packed with black fruits, berries and a smoky wood character. It’s an impressive wine, very rich and with sufficient layered acidity. Very ageworthy.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon 2008 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
Already a beautifully balanced wine, with firm tannin, ripe cherry fruits and a fine, elegant structure. A plush feel is just beginning to develop, showing through the tight, closed youthful texture.
