An elegant, pure and attractively complex nose of ripe violet, plum, spice and earth hints precedes the rich, round and nicely voluminous medium-bodied flavors that possess the same solid depth as the nose, all wrapped in a balanced and persistent finish. This will certainly age if desired but there is enough mid-palate fat such that this should please those readers who elect to pop their bottles when they're still on the young side. Outstanding Score: 89 - 91 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2016+ 01 April 2012 |

The 2010 Volnay (from young vines in Santenots) boasts incredible depth and power. The intensity and structure of the vintage come through in spades. This is a decidedly muscular style of Volnay. Today it is the richest of Lafon’s 2010s. It will be interesting to see the direction the wine takes over the next year. Score: 90 - 93 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2015-2030 01 February 2012 |
