Comtes Lafon Volnay 2018 (750ML)

89-91 BH / 88-90 WA

Tasting note: A mentholated top note can be found on the slightly riper and more deeply pitched aromas of cassis, poached plum and dark raspberry. The exceptionally rich, even opulent and suave, medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality on the sneaky long and more refined finish. This is ripe but lovely.—Allen Meadows, Burghound

Produced from young vines in Santenots, the 2018 Volnay Village exhibits a rich bouquet of cassis, ripe plums, orange rind and creamy new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and gourmand, with juicy acids and powdery tannins.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
