Depth and power define the 2020 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu, with saturated black cherry and cassis layered over rose petal, spice and cool stone. Concentrated and structured yet vividly fresh, it delivers a cascade of dark, sappy fruit framed by fine but firm tannins that promise real reward for those willing to wait. This is a serious, long-lived Volnay that shows the vineyard and vintage at a notably intense, almost monumental level.
Roast duck breast with cherries; herb-crusted lamb loin; wild mushroom and truffle risotto
