Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a translucent ruby hue with vivid clarity. The nose is lifted and nuanced, offering red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry and floral notes, with subtle earth, spice and a touch of mineral depth. On the palate, Volnay’s hallmark finesse is on full display: silky tannins, bright acidity and a graceful, layered texture. The fruit is pure and focused, with savory undertones that add complexity and length. While approachable with some aeration in youth, this 2020 has the structure and balance to develop beautifully over the next 8–15 years, gaining further earthiness and aromatic depth.

Production
This wine comes from Volnay in Burgundy, where limestone and marl soils help shape Pinot Noir with finesse, perfume and tension. Domaine des Comtes Lafon is known for attentive vineyard work and careful harvesting, with fruit typically picked by hand to preserve quality and precision. Vinification is carried out with a light touch to respect the character of the site, allowing the wine’s elegance and terroir expression to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine with roast duck, quail, chicken with mushrooms, game birds or dishes featuring truffle and earthy vegetables. It also pairs beautifully with soft cheeses and classic Burgundian fare. Serve at around 15–17°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young to allow the aromatics to unfold.
