It offers a ripe, forward blackberry and blueberry fruit character with earth, smoke and spice notes. The texture is substantial, with firm tannins and abundant extract, but there is nothing heavy or astringent here. Although Pierre Lafon has begun to experiment with whole clusters in the ferment, there was none in any wine this vintage. This wine was racked after harvest 2024 and will be bottled in the spring. Drink: 2030 - 2060. \u003cstrong\u003e96 points Charles Curtis MW, Decanter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu has another very delineated, quite floral bouquet that is cut from a similar cloth to the Champans, with just a touch of violet emerging with time in the glass. More powerful than the other Volnays, the palate is well balanced, with great depth and white pepper\/graphite notes toward the very persistent finish. This is a Volnay Santenots with well- placed ambition, much more elegant than vintages 10 or 20 years ago. \u003cstrong\u003e93-95 points Neal Martin, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine des Comtes Lafon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063156371777,"sku":"BU01145","price":649.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/sedimentary.au\/products\/domaine-des-comtes-lafon-volnay-1er-cru-santenots-du-milieu-2023","provider":"Sedimentary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
