Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 94
The 2019 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru has a lovely floral bouquet. Whilst there is noticeable reduction, I can imagine that being addressed with bottle age. The palate is very pure and the tannins quite finessed, plus there is an element of transparency that is less common in Volnay in this vintage compared to others. This fans out nicely on its peacocks tail finish. Excellent. This is a cut above the others in this flight. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2047

Aromas of plums, wild berries, rose petals, warm spices and raw cocoa introduce Lafon’s 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu, a medium to full-bodied, bright and precise wine that’s layered and concentrated, with an elegant, refined profile that’s finer-boned than its more muscular 2018 predecessor. This is very promising.
