"This village Volnay is produced from the younger vines in Lafon’s superb, 4ha holding in Santenots-du-Milieu. The bunches are destemmed and macerated, prior to being fermented with as many whole berries as possible in stainless and aged for two winters in cask, one-third new. The result has a fragrant, plummy fruit and a super-rich texture, with plenty of substance and a delightfully lively freshness. Drinking Window 2024 - 2039." - 93 points, Decanter
"Coming from the young vines in Santenots, the 2019 Volnay Village has a lovely perfumed bouquet, a mixture of blueberry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is well balanced, very lithe and feminine, with fine-boned tannins and a lilting finish that you almost glug down now. Utterly charming." - 90-92 points, Neal Martin Vinous
"Made from the younger vines of Volnay Santenots. No deeper in colour than the Monthelie, but there is perhaps a touch more fruit concentration on the nose. Beautifully graceful, cherry and raspberry, plenty of detail, and a long graceful finish. Tasted: October 2020." 90-93 points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy
