The 2014 Volnay 1Er Cru les Brouillards has a mixture of red and black fruit, wilted violets developing in the glass, quite refined and yet gaining intensity all the time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit. There is a touch of rusticity here, a little ferrous towards the finish, although it has commendable substance and length.Inc. GSTSG$671.96 -

Dark red-ruby. Complex, dark nose melds blackberry, black raspberry, minerals, licorice, spices, mint and violet; reminded me a bit of a very fresh Cabernet Franc!

The 2019 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru immediately hits a level up from Les Angles, offering scents of vibrant red berry fruit, sous-bois and a hint of morels, all delineated and focused.

The 2021 Volnay Les Brouillards 1er Cru, which according to Clément Boillot, is picked a little later these days. It displays one of the Domaine's most attractive bouquets with quite vivacious dark cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, more concentration than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, a little brittle in texture but fine tension. What is lacks in length it compensates with vigour. Worth seeking out.Inc. GSTSG$153.58 -

Not especially deep in colour, but the nose is rather fine, the elegance of Volnay, less demonstrative on the palate, with medium intensity of the strawberry, cherry fruit. Fair length. A wine of finesse rather than power. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023.Inc. GSTSG$192.82 -

The 2018 Beaune Boucherottes 1er Cru fights off a bit of reduction on the nose to reveal a mélange of red and black fruit, oyster shell and lavender aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with confit-like black fruit, fine acidity. Sweet and tinged with fig and cassis toward the seductive if rather simplistic finish.

The 2013 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules has the most mineral-driven bouquet of Jadot's six Beaune premier crus, with impressive delineation and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, chalky tannins and a silver thread of acidity interwoven through the dark cherry, iodine, cassis and red currant notes. The finish is structured and exerts a gentle grip, but the persistence is tangible, suggesting that this Clos des Ursules has a long future ahead.Inc. GSTSG$1,046.18 -

(6x150cl) 1996Vinous (90)
Good medium red with a faint amber tinge. Less fruit and more soil and game on the nose than the '97. Dense and sappy in the mouth, showing good plummy lift but also an edgy quality to its fruit component. Can't match the '97 or '99 for dimension but then this wine is rather tight and ungiving. Still, it appears to possess the tension and verve to continue to evolve positively. Finishes with tannins that dust the front teeth. Barnier says his colleagues at Jadot are not yet drinking their top '96 reds, but I wonder if this wine will ever truly blossom in bottle. Saline but not particularly sweet or rich, in the style of many wines from this vintage.Inc. GSTSG$2,522.04 -
Wine Spectator (93)
This red is solidly structured and packed with fruit. Black cherry and wild blackberry notes are beginning to struggle against the dense tannins as this appears to be shutting down. There's a core of pure fruit, and it has vibrancy and energy. The finish goes on and on. Best from 2015 through 2035. 100 cases imported. -BSInc. GSTSG$1,744.48 -

The 2017 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru has an attractive, wild strawberry, orange blossom and pomegranate bouquet, pure and charming and quite Chambolle-like in style. The palate is fleshy on the entry, delivering fine grip and decent red fruit laced with white pepper and graphite, but it tapers toward the finish, refusing to "kick on" and leaving you wanting more.

The 2018 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru has a very composed, detailed bouquet of blackberry, wild strawberry and pressed rose petal aromas, the most elegant of the three Cortons 2018s from Jadot.
