WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2020 This wine immediately conveys a sense of concentration with its nose of insistent, dark cherry paired with subtle tar and toast notes. The palate confirms this and presents concentrated fruit on a sinuous, elegant body with silkily woven tannins. For now the oak still casts a tarry spell but this will subside with a little more bottle age. Lovely freshness prevails.
RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 20th Jan 2022 The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes (Domaine Louis Jadot) reveals aromas of rich berries, orange rind, peonies and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, with a lively core of fruit, ripe but firm tannins and a nicely defined finish, it will demand some bottle age. (William Kelley)VN91+91–93 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2021 The 2020 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru comprises of one 456-litre barrel this year. It has a very well-defined bouquet with seamlessly integrated oak and impressive mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine delineation, just a little chewiness on the entry but there is tension interwoven into this Volnay from start to finish, plus great persistency. Superb. (Neal Martin)
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2022 This violet-scented Pinot Noir is marked by plump, mouth-drenching black-cherry and plum flavors edged by licks of sweet spice and vanilla. Framed by fine, glossy tannins and a juicy spine of acidity, this immediately welcoming wine is particularly joyous young but will likely hold well through 2027. (Anna Lee C.

WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2021 Hints of smoky lapsang souchong tea leaves and anise accent ripe yet zesty blackberry and cassis in this full-bodied, supple red. It’s a rich, rounded Pinot Noir held upright by zesty darts of acidity and finishing in pools of soft, silky tannins. While a bit nervous in youth it should hit peak from 2024 through 2030 and hold further. (Anna Lee C. Iijima)WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 10/21 Xavier Monnot farms two acres in Clos des Chênes, one acre planted in 1936, the other in 1978. Those old vines produced a dark and meaty Volnay in 2019, perfumed up front, then calming to red cherry succulence in a firm finish. The wine seems to harness the heat of the vintage and direct it into potential energy, well worth following over the next five to ten years.VN90+90–92 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020 The 2019 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet featuring overt floral notes of rose petal and pressed irises. There is a subtle confit element that becomes apparent with aeration. The palate is plush and fleshy on the entry, and there is a fine bead of acidity to keep it balanced. A polished Clos des Chênes with a little spice on the finish. It will require 3–4 years in bottle, like the Beaune Toussaints, but it has the substance to age well for another 12–15 years, possibly more. (Neal Martin)
