Dominique Lafon Volnay 2019 (750ML)

89 BH / 89-91 WA / 87-90 JM

Tasting note: Pretty and fresh aromas display ripe plum, red and dark currant plus a top note of raspberry. There is good punch to the delicious middle weight flavors that exude notes of salinity and rusticity on the lingering finish. This is really quite good and while it's not an elegant rendition of the genre, I like the depth and persistence. Outstanding. –Allen Meadows, Burghound

From a parcel Lafon has rented since 2008 and which is cultivated by the Comtes Lafon team, the 2019 Volnay Village exhibits aromas of sweet berry fruit, petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and gourmand, with melting tannins and lively acids, it's very charming.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

The lower part of Les Lurets. brighter deeper purple colour, deep dark fruit too, mostly raspberry with a touch of cherry, good intensity and length. I would like to see a little more refinement perhaps. Tasted: October 2020 –Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
