The Volnay Comtes Lafon 2010 is a notable red Burgundy from a prestigious domaine, established by the Lafon family in the late 19th century and recognised for its commitment to organic practices. The 2010 vintage has yielded wines characterised by notable purity and concentration. This Volnay features a bouquet of bright red cherries, raspberries and earthy notes. On the palate, it exhibits a medium body, with structured tannins and lively acidity. The finish is persistent, suggesting potential for long-term ageing and development in the bottle.
