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

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

Only 2 bottles/ pers. Saturated red. Powerful aromas of black raspberry, candied cherry, licorice and smoky minerals. Pretty sexy wine

Chablis Séchet
Domaine Bertheau
Chambolle Charmes
Here the nose is really quite elegant with its assortment of red cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet and soft spice wisps
Domaine Trapet
Gevrey 1er Cru

Domaine Méo-Camuzet
Clos St Philibert
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
Domaine Gouges Henri
Nuits-Saint-Georges
Domaine Arnaud Ente
Bourgogne
This Bourgogne Pinot Noir comes from the Magny lieu-dit, in the commune of Meursault. The vines are farmed with the same care as the estate’s great white cuvées, with naturally low yields
Hubert Lamy
Les Frionnes
The 2021 shows a nose of white flowers, citrus and nashi pear, with a hint of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and chiselled, carried by bright acidity
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
