2017 Volnay, Les Lurets, 1er Cru, Dominique Lafon, Burgundy

Description

In contrast to the village wine from the same parcel, this displays more complexity, with subtle spice notes joining the berry fruit and violet on the nose. The palate is dense and concentrated with some warmth and rich strawberry fruit, all the while retaining the elegance of Volnay.

After the famine of 2016, this year is something of a feast, at least in the case of the reds. Sadly, the whites, which Dominique praises as having excellent clarity, are in slightly smaller volumes than 2016. The good news is that the full range of red wines has been made, and in good volume too. Dominique is effusive in his praise for the 2017 reds, describing them as appealing, with beautiful balance, a lightness of touch, refined tannins and a floral character with stunning red fruit.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 89-91/100

Fresh mid purple, a certain elegance. Of all Dominique Lafon’s reds, the Lurets has notably more acidity, which currently gives a rougher feel to the wine, suggesting that it needs longer elevage. There is a touch more concentration in the background though.
