Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu 2010 is a mature 1er Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune. This wine is produced from 40+ year-old Pinot Noir vines planted in shallow clay soil sitting on a bed of solid rock and delivers the classic smooth yet structured `iron fist in a velvet glove` experience. "The 2010 Volnay Santenots is pure silk on the palate. It reveals striking suppleness and mid-palate pliancy in its expressive red berries, plums, flowers and liquorice. This is an inviting, totally alluring wine graced with tons of sheer sexiness. A voluptuous, creamy finish takes things to their logical conclusion. There are no hard edges in this exceptionally elegant, polished Volnay." Wine Advocate, 2012
