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."

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

Only 2 bottles/ pers. Saturated red. Powerful aromas of black raspberry, candied cherry, licorice and smoky minerals. Pretty sexy wine
Domaine Dauvissat
Chablis Séchet
Hubert Lamy
Puligny 1er Cru
Les Tremblots is a lieu-dit in the south of Puligny-Montrachet, on the border with Chassagne. Its name probably comes from the aspen trees (trembles) that once grew there
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle Charmes
Here the nose is really quite elegant with its assortment of red cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet and soft spice wisps
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Vosne-Romanée
Domaine Bart
Clos De Bèze
An exuberantly spicy nose combines notes of plum, dark currant, violets and underbrush. There is terrific intensity and a lovely minerality to the ripe and well-delineated medium weight
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

Les Porusots
Domaine Ami
Volnay
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Vosne-Romanée
The 2023 is an elegant, fragrant Vosne-Romanée, all finesse, with red fruit and a touch of sweet spice
Clos Des Lambrays
Morey-Saint-Denis
2024 was a cool, difficult vintage in Burgundy, marked by rain and mildew pressure, with very low yields. It produced lighter, more delicate reds built on freshness. This village Morey should show a light ruby colour, a nose of cherry, raspberry
