Domaine des Comtes Lafon’s Volnay Premier Cru Santenots du Milieu 2019 comes from the heart of this historic slope, a section long recognized for producing some of the appellation’s most structured and long-lived wines. The soil, clay over limestone with pockets of marl, gives the fruit depth and tension, and under Lafon’s organic and biodynamic farming, the site’s natural character comes through with impressive clarity.
This vintage is expressive from the outset, showing dark cherry, plum and rose petal alongside subtle spice and warm earth. The palate is concentrated but never heavy, shaped by bright acidity and finely woven tannins that speak to the vineyard’s pedigree. A firm, clean finish underscores the wine’s precision. This is a serious Santenots, articulate in its youth and built to evolve gracefully, offering a clear window into one of Volnay’s most esteemed terroirs.
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Volnay Premier Cru Santenots du Milieu, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Farming: Organic and biodynamic practices
Style: Red. Refined, textured and age-worthy
