Score 90/100 · Drink 2013, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2012

Dominique Lafon's 2010 Volnay is gorgeous. Salty veins of minerality support layers of vibrant red fruit in this articulate, precise wine. Sweet roses and flowers of all sorts add lift on the fresh, gracious finish. This is a fabulous wine for the money.

Dominique Lafon’s 2010 Volnay is gorgeous. Salty veins of minerality support layers of vibrant red fruit in this articulate, precise wine. Sweet roses and flowers of all sorts add lift on the fresh, gracious finish. This is a fabulous wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. (Not yet released) These are the first wines I have tasted from Dominique Lafon’s new label, which he directs entirely on his own. Dominique Lafon is making his wines in a slightly different style than he has become known for at Comtes Lafon, his family’s iconic estate in Meursault. The Dominique Lafon wines are a little bit more laid back and restrained. It will be interesting to see the direction these wines take in the future. The first vintages are quite promising.

Dominique Lafon

Having established Domaine des Comtes Lafon as one of the finest addresses in Burgundy, Dominique Lafon set up an eponymous négociant business in 2008. The vines are all farmed by the Lafon team and the wines generally leaner than those of Comtes Lafon, with less new oak.
