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

Vinous 93

The 2020 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru is very well defined on the nose with blackberry, boysenberry, crushed violets and light incense aromas, opulent yet controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with some oak to be subsumed on the entry, modest depth, sleek and sensual with a spicer finish than the Champans. Likewise, it will require 4-6 years in bottle before it is at full flight. Bottled under Diam 30. Closure: Diam 30 [Neal Martin, 16/12/2021]
