Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots du Milieu 1er Cru 2006 (750ML)

90-92 BH

Note: from 40+ year old vines planted in shallow, high clay content soil sitting on a bed of solid rock

Tasting note: This too is mildly reduced though it's instantly obvious even through the funk that this is a wine of refinement and class as the rich, full and sweet flavors offer lovely detail and a subtle minerality on the punchy, deep and long finish supported by relatively light but sophisticated tannins. I really like the balance here and this moderately fruit-driven effort should reward mid-term cellaring. Sweet Spot. Outstanding. Drink 2013+ -Allen Meadows, Burghound
