2020 Volnay, Les Lurets, 1er Cru, Dominique Lafon, Burgundy

Description

Dominique has one block of vines here in the higher – Premier Cru – section of Lurets. The wine has a wonderfully pretty, lifted rose-petal and red-berry nose. It’s more generous on the palate than Dominique’s village cuvée. There is a rich, sweet ball of red fruit, wrapped in a cloak of velour tannins. This is wonderful.

Drink 2028 - 2043

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 91-93/100
This too is very firmly reduced. The more refined and slightly denser flavours possess a more sophisticated texture with notably better depth and persistence on the balanced if chalky and slightly austere finale. In contrast to the prior wines, this is sufficiently tightly wound to need at least 7 to 8 years of bottle ageing and a wine that should easily reward 10 to 12. One to look for.Drink from 2030 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (April 2022)

Aromas of dark berries, rich spices, loamy soil and rose petals preface the 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Lurets, a medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated wine built around chalky tannins and tangy acids. It's turning out very nicely.William Kelley, Wine Advocate (January 2022)

5 barrels made. Dense rich ripe fruit, super-sensual with rich raspberry fruit and a thick texture. There is excellent intensity, and some persistence, with the tannins as they should be. At 14% it is a little riper than ideal, though. and length. behind.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (January 2022)
