Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots du Milieu 2022 [NET]

$19999

The 2022 vintage introduces 50% whole clusters to this benchmark Côte de Beaune expression, adding freshness to Les Santenots-du-Milieu's signature suave character. Old vines yield plums, wild berries, and violet florals that open across a fleshy, medium-to-full palate with silky tannins and delicate minerality. A wine that balances ripe generosity with refined detail, built for graceful aging over the next 20 years.

"The 2023 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Vignes Blanches (Aligoté) was planted at the same time as the Chardonnay in the middle of the vineyard, a massal selection from Sylvain Pataille. This has an outstanding bouquet of yellow plum, melted candle wax, nectarine and a touch of licorice. The palate is beautifully balanced and lightly spiced with a silky texture, as hints of chamomile and white tea mix with light brioche notes. This is even better than the Chardonnay." —Neal Martin

More about Domaine des Comtes Lafon

I remember tasting with Dominique Lafon about 30 years ago in the very cold cellars below Clos de la Barre. We had the reds first, which is Burgundian tradition. Dominique commented that he was having a great time making the red wines and that he thought his reds were getting really good. I had to agree.

He has now retired from Domaine des Comtes Lafon. Lea is the winemaker and Pierre is running the business. Which means Dominique will undoubtedly be spending more time on his wholly owned negociant project. I look forward to drinking the Volnay 1er Cru les Lurets on New Year's Eve 2030!

The négociant wines have taken a big step up with the stunning 2022 and 2023 vintages. The future is looking bright chez Lafon.
