  • 2012 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay

    Pale garnet. Nose shows raspberry fruit, violets, just a sense of soil. Medium bodied, soft tannins, pure raspberry fruit, touch of soil, fresh acidity, good length, harmonious finish. Lovely, understated, village Volnay.

  • 1999 Dominique Laurent Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

    Medium/deep garnet. Nose shows ripe, dark fruit, smoke, spice, rich soil. Quite complex. Medium/full bodied, again rich, dark fruit, earth, spice, firmish but fine tannins, vibrant acidity long still grippy finish. Complex Volnay in a rich style, still a pup. Now to at least 2035.
