2020 Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Volnay Premier Cru, Les Santenots du Milieu 1x750ml

Vinous 91.5

The 2020 Volnay Santenots-les-Milieu 1er Cru's nose lacks clarity. It is a little dull and earthy, but some warmth is evident here. The palate is medium-bodied with bitter cherry and citrus peel. It feels a little pinched with a monotone finish, though it unwinds with aeration and develops more depth. This is a classy Volnay with more to give. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
