Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots du Milieu 2022 [NET]
A Burgundy quirk worth knowing: Les Santenots-du-Milieu sits inside the commune of Meursault, but when the vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir, the wine is sold as Volnay 1er Cru. Nobody works it with more authority than Domaine des Comtes Lafon, for whom this is the flagship red. The 2022 brought in 50% whole clusters, adding lift and freshness to a vineyard already known for suave, fleshy fruit -- plums, wild berries, violets, silky tannins, and the fine thread of minerality Lafon always seems to find. Biodynamic farming, as it has been here for decades. This is a wine to lay down: give it several years and it will keep giving back for two decades more.
