Dominique Lafon Volnay 2021

Description

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

Always searching for new challenges, Dominique Lafon started his own label – separate from the family domaine – in 2008 and currently works approximately 4.5 hectares in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Volnay, and Beaune. Legally, he is considered a ngociant but this is only because Dominique shares space with another winemaker. (Think of it as a custom crush facility, but in Burgundy.)

• 0.75 hectares
• In the village-level lieu-dit of Les Lurets, a cool site
