  • Santenots du Milieu is one of the most unique Premier Cru sites in Volnay, located on Meursault soils yet planted to Pinot Noir. Yes, one of those Burgundian quirks where a vineyard located in the predominantly white village next door takes the name of the exclusively red village!

    The 2009 vintage is an excellent - and long term - one. The wines just beginning to come out of their shells, and are marked by generosity, structured tannins and depth of flavour. Aromatically, the wine opens with dark cherry, plum, rose petal and subtle spice. With time in bottle, tertiary notes of forest floor, leather and dried herbs begin to emerge. The palate is broad and enveloping, with fine but present tannins and a velvety, persistent finish.

    This is a powerful, age-worthy Volnay Santenots de Milieu from Lafon and is always a joy to drink.

  • “First bottle had a fractional TCA taint. The second was much fresher, with perhaps the most youthful colour of the whole tasting. Still firm tannins, extraction taken to the limit but there is superb weight and energy to this and the finish does not dry out. Give it another 10 years! Tasted Jun 2019.” 93 points, Jasper Morris MW
