2023 Volnay, Dominique Lafon, Burgundy

Description

After using some whole bunches last year, Dominique decided to de-stem the crop in 2023. He made 20 barrels of this wine, of which three were new. All but one barrel comes from the usual source, the lower part of Les Lurets. This year sees the incorporation of a barrel from a new planting in La Cave, on the slope above the village. This is a delicate and pretty Volnay, packed with redcurrant and cranberry and with fine, elegant tannins.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 89-91/100
An even red purple colour. An elegant pure red fruit on the nose, with a serene red berry fruit across the palate, fine tannins, adequate acidity, will surely make a lovely bottle.

Drink 2028-2031

About this wine

Volnay

Volnay

The finest and most elegant red wines of the Côte de Beaune are grown in Volnay, a village which might be twinned with Chambolle-Musigny in the Côte de Nuits, for the high active chalk content in the soil and comparatively low clay content. Whereas in earlier times Volnay was made in a particularly light, early drinking style, these days there are many producers making wines which age extremely well.
