Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This is one of Dominique Lafon's best wines of the 1990s and easily surpasses the 1995. It has a wonderful bouquet that is very focused: raspberry, a touch of cassis, Indian ink and just a suggestion of singed leather. It has a sweet entry on the palate that is underpinned by fine tannins and an elegant, sensual finish that lacquers but never oppresses the mouth. There is wonderful tension and purity in this Volnay, perhaps in some ways auguring the style of wine post-2000. You can drink this now, though I would prefer to leave the 1996 another five years because there is a lot to come. Drink now-2026

Complex, captivating and matured nose of red fruits, orange sorbet, spices and wet earth. Very high racy acidity on the entry but well supported and balanced by good fresh red fruit intensity and weight. Very good complexity of secondary earthiness and forest floor. Drinking very well and will still hold. What a magnificent Volnay Santenots!

Château Domaine des Comtes Lafon
Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Domaine des Comtes Lafon is an estate that produces Burgundy wines. It encompasses 13.8 hectares of some of the region's most renowned growths, planted with Chardonnay in the villages of Meursault, Puligny and Montrachet, and Pinot Noir in the villages of Volnay and Monthélie.

One of the greatest among the greats. Dominique Lafon implements everything possible to produce the finest white wines. Biodynamic farming, meticulous aging, from Meursault to Montrachet, the range is impressively consistent in quality. You'll love the white wines, but don't forget the perfectly mastered Volnay Santenots du Milieu.

Domaine des Comtes Lafon is the most universally admired estate in the world for Volnay and Meursault appellations. The vineyard heritage is unique, with ideal locations for each lieu-dit, and for the main red plot, Santenots du Milieu, a large enough area to allow rigorous grape selection and vinification with sufficient mass for optimal extraction control. The white wines have a unique sumptuous body and flavor, and the reds have an optimal balance between power and finesse.
