Volnay & Pommard
/ Sophie MeninClarity and impressive complexity lift this fresh and floral village-level Volnay well above its category.
At once beguilingly poetic and free of embellishments, this Champans is memorable for its nuanced perfumes, pure red fruit, precision and persistence on the palate.
Dark fruit flavors, transparency and an elegant tannic structure make this wine worth seeking out. It's like a big man who is disarmingly light on his feet.
In this generous and textured Pommard, dark fruit, forest floor flavors, fine tannins, and ample acidity, render a delicious mouth coating wine that feels neither weighted nor heavy.
A sumptuous Volnay with violet aromas, rich red fruit, integrated acidity and refined tannins.
Aromas of violets mingle with dark fruit flavors and smooth tannins in this pleasing, richly-textured wine.
An iconic Pommard noted for its structure and rich red and black fruit. This wine needs a decade in the cellar to integrate before its nuances can come through.

This luscious Volnay from a monopole near the village is distinguished by dark red fruit flavors, fine tannins and aromas of sweet spice and smoke.
Chardonnay grown in Santenots' marl soil is Meursault. Pinot noir from the same vineyard is Volnay, as in the compelling Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu from Domaine Comtes Lafon. Here this border vineyard yields a pensive and mineral driven Meursault of exceptionally long length.
