Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This is one of Dominique Lafon’s best wines of the 1990s and easily surpasses the 1995. It has a wonderful bouquet that is very focused: raspberry, a touch of cassis, Indian ink and just a suggestion of singed leather. It has a sweet entry on the palate that is underpinned by fine tannins and an elegant, sensual finish that lacquers but never oppresses the mouth. There is wonderful tension and purity in this Volnay, perhaps in some ways auguring the style of wine post-2000. You can drink this now, though I would prefer to leave the 1996 another five years because there is a lot to come. Drink now-2026

 Complexed, captivating and matured nose of red fruits, orange sorbet, spices and wet earth.Very high racy acidity on the entry but well supported and balance by good fresh red fruit intensity and weight. Very good complexity of secondary earthiness and forest floor. Drinking very well and will still hold.What a magnificent Volnay Santenots!

Château Domaine des Comtes Lafon
Domaine des Comtes Lafon

The Domaine des Comtes Lafon is an estate that produces Burgundian wines. It encompasses 13.8 hectares, bringing together some of the most renowned crus in the region, planted with Chardonnay in the villages of Meursault, Puligny, and Montrachet, and with Pinot Noir in the villages of Volnay and Monthélie.

One of the greatest among the greats. Dominique Lafon puts everything in place to produce the finest white wines possible. Biodynamics, meticulous aging, from Meursault to Montrachet, the range is impressive in quality and consistency. You will love the white wines, but above all, don't forget the Volnay Santenots du Milieu, which is perfectly mastered.

The Domaine des Comtes Lafon is the most universally admired estate in the world for the appellations of Volnay and Meursault. The vineyard heritage is unique, with an ideal location for each lieu-dit, and for the main red plot, the Santenots du Milieu, a large enough area to allow rigorous grape selections and vinification with sufficient mass for optimal extraction control. The white wines have a unique sumptuousness of body and flavor, and the reds have an optimal balance between strength and finesse.
