Note di degustazione
(due to the hail problems in 2001, Lafon made a single village cuvee from Clos des Chenes, Champans and the young Santenots vines) Medium red. Redcurrant, cherry, mocha and earth on the nose. Sweeter and rounder than the Monthelie, with slightly tart-edged red fruit flavors. I tasted this with trepidation, but in fact itÂ’s juicy, vinous and refreshing, with decent ripeness and tannins that largely avoid any dryness from hail.

The 2001 Volnay is a pleasing effort. Its violet and red cherry aromas lead to a light to medium-bodied personality with tight yet expressive black berries and red cherries. It should be drunk by 2007. Dominique Lafon is on fire, in a zone, on top of his game. He’s never made better wines, and he improves with each passing vintage.
