2018 Jadot Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans
Grape
Pinot Noir
Its Origins
In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.
What The Critics Say
92-94/100 vinous, Neal Mrtin
"The 2018 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru has a pure, opulent bouquet that manages to retain impressive focus and precision. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, plenty of crushed strawberry and cranberry fruit and a touch of piquancy toward the finish. This stands shoulder to shoulder with the Les Santenots at the moment and may surpass it." Drink 2023 - 2040
90-92/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, William Kelley
"The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Mitans (Maison Louis Jadot) offers up a deep bouquet of sweet wild berries, orange rind, cocoa nib and grilled squab. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and elegant, with fine-grained structuring tannins, lively acids and fine concentration. This is a very appealing cuvée from Jadot."
