Silky and poised, the 2017 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu Premier Cru layers red and dark cherry with plum, rose petal and subtle spice, framed by fine-grained, chalky tannins. Medium to full in body yet graceful, it shows a fresh line of acidity and a long, sapid finish that already appeals but clearly promises greater nuance with time in bottle.
Roast duck with cherries; Herb-crusted rack of lamb; Wild mushroom risotto

Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu Premier Cru by Domaine des Comtes Lafon is a biodynamically farmed, old-vine Pinot Noir from the clay-rich, limestone-based Les Santenots du Milieu climat in Meursault, bottled as Volnay. One of the domaine’s flagship reds, it is typically dark in color, rich and deep yet notably elegant, with concentrated red and dark berry fruit, floral and mineral tones, and fine-grained but structured tannins that reward extended cellaring.
