"This wine is declassified young vines, mostly from Santenots with a little from Champans included, too. The wine is light, airy, and smooth with good density and precise red fruits." Fine Wine Review
"Dominique Lafon uses his young-vine fruit from Santenots and En Champans to make this delightfully drinkable village Volnay. Crunchy, fresh and vibrant, it has pomegranate and wild strawberry fruit, gentle, fine-grained tannins and some sweet spice from 20% new wood." Tim Atkin
This comes from young plantings (1997 and 2002) in Volnay Santenots along with a bit of 30 year old Champans, so it is all in fact from 1er cru terroir. This is quite beautiful with a sense of density. This fills the mouth, excellent texture, the aromatics flood back behind. The Comtes Lafon Volnay, when it is made, is a wine of huge appeal that paves the way for the premiers crus to follow." Jasper Morris
