Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Champans from Comtes Lafon has an endearing bouquet, one that is very harmonious: crushed strawberry and cranberry, fine mineralité and great delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with deftly chiseled tannin. This is very pure and refined, silky smooth in texture with a sensual, poised finish that lingers long in the mouth. What a gorgeous Volnay Champans from Dominique Lafon this is turning out to be! Tasted September 2017.

(25 hectoliters per hectare produced, as there was less hail damage here than in the Clos des Chènes): Medium red. Riper aromas of plum, redcurrant, medicinal cherry and milk chocolate. Nicely concentrated but closed; shows more material than the Clos des Chènes but not quite the seductive juiciness or floral lift of that wine. This a more medicinal style, with good inner-mouth tension and structure.
(hail reduced the crop to 17 hectoliters per hectare): Musky, smoky, soil-inflected aromas of dark cherry, leather and mint. Considerably deeper and richer than the Clos des Chênes, but the wine's structure comes more from its tannins than from its moderate acidity. Round, fine-grained, full and long.
