Louis Jadot 'Volnay En l'Ormeau' Premier Cru, Volnay, 2015, 75cl

The 2015 Volnay 1er Cru en l'Ormeau, under the Domaine Gagey label, has an appealing, quite rounded bouquet with ample red cherry, strawberry and cranberry fruit, a touch of dried honey giving away the warmth of the growing season in the background. The palate is smooth and cohesive on the entry with moderate depth, although I found the finish taciturn and needing more mineralité and tension to come through. I would look for some melioration by the time of bottling.
