Description of the Domaine Comtes Lafon
Robert Parker : 93-95 points
"The 2016 Volnay 1er Cru les Champans is bestowed a more powerful nose than the Clos des Chenes with perfumed, floral red and black fruit, the new oak nicely interwoven. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and succulent tannins, real depth and body here with great nervosité on the detailed, almost electrifying finish. What a fantastic Champans from Dominique Lafon! This should be sensational once in bottle."
Allen Meadows : 93 points
"Lafon noted that this was off -50% in 2016. Despite the restrained quality of the cool, ultra-fresh and pure liqueur-like red berry fruit the breath of spice influence is quite attractive. There is excellent complexity, intensity and power to the well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a mouth coating if youthfully austere finish offering excellent length and fine balance."
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle Musigny
A pretty bouquet of raspberries, dried flowers and a classy framing of new oak introduces the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village, a medium-bodied, succulent and open-knit
Domaine J-L Chave
Saint-Joseph
Only 2 bottles/ pers. Saturated red. Powerful aromas of black raspberry, candied cherry, licorice and smoky minerals. Pretty sexy wine
Domaine Dauvissat
Chablis Séchet
Domaine Gouges Henri
Les Pruliers
Domaine Comtes Lafon
Santenots Du Milieu
A ripe, fresh and attractively spicy nose reflects a variety of both red and dark pinot fruit nuances
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Vosne Romanée
The wine shows a nose of blackcurrant and red fruit, with a spicy, floral touch from the whole clusters. The palate is racy and fruity, with velvety tannins and the freshness of the upper slope
Maxime Cottenceau
Montagny
The 2022 shows a nose of yellow flowers, citrus zest, fresh ginger and toast. The palate is medium-bodied, juicy and fresh, with citrus, stone fruit
Domaine Pillot F&l
Beaune 1er Cru
The 2023 has a deep garnet colour and a nose of blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry, with toasty, lightly spicy notes. The palate is full, with silky tannins and good freshness, and a long finish
Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Nuits Saint Georges
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Chassagne Clos St J
2024 was a cool vintage with small volumes in Burgundy, giving lighter, more easy-drinking reds. At just 12.5%, this red Chassagne should show bright red and black fruit, a palate between finesse and concentration
Anne Boisson
Meursault
The nose combines green orchard fruit, citrus zest, mint and pastry cream, framed by elegant oak. The palate is concentrated and chalky, driven by lively acidity, with great length
