December 12, 2020 - This is in a good place tonight and was drinking well almost immediately after opening with lots of pretty red and blue fruit, firm earthy and minerally sous bois undertones and very good depth and concentration. I suspect this has a lot of good years ahead of it.

July 23, 2018 - Bon vin, mais le millésime se fait sentir. Un côté vert et une acidité mal contrôlée. Un fruit bien présent, mais avec un manque de maturité. Je m’attendais à plus !

December 25, 2017 - What volnay should be: silky elegant Beaune. This Lafon is better than other Volnays I’ve had. Reminds of the best. Even casual wine drinkers will like this instantly. Seems open for business.
