Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay 2022

$12999

Silky, aromatic, and impossibly elegant—this is Volnay at its most seductive. Dominique Lafon crafts a wine that opens with subtle aromas of sour cherry, violet, and forest floor, enriched by touches of sweet spice and fine minerality. The palate flows like silk, revealing red fruit layers and woody complexity from careful oak aging. Sourced from vineyards managed with organic and biodynamic principles, this Burgundy showcases restraint and refinement without sacrificing richness or depth.

"A brooding nose grudgingly offers up an array of various dark berries and pungent newly turned earth scents. The rich, concentrated and velvet-textured middleweight flavors possess evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the balanced, youthfully austere and age-worthy finish. Worth a look." —Allen Meadows

"The 2022 Monthélie Les Duresses, 100% de-stemmed, has a refined and pure bouquet with blueberry and light iodine aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, crisp and fresh, slightly brittle on the finish but with plenty of freshness. Drink over the next decade." —Neal Martin

"Bursting with aromas of cherries, dark berries and petals, the 2022 Monthélie Les Duresses is medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, its succulent core of fruit framed by supple tannins." —William Kelley

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.
