Hvor ekstremt gode Dominique Lafons rødvine egentlig er, kan meget vel være Bourgognes bedst bevarede hemmelighed. Uhyre koncentreret i det varme år 2020, en aromatisk kraft af vilde bær og mørke kirsebær, alt optages af denne enorme intensitet. Rig og overdådig i frugten, men så fuld af spænding og legesyge på tungen. Kalkstenen mejsler sig ind i den ekstremt lange, friske finish. Fantastisk! 96-97+/100

Decanter om: Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu Premier Cru

A monumental wine, with super-ripe black cherry and currant fruit accented with rose petals, liquorice, smoke and minerals. Dense and full-bodied in texture, yet vibrantly fresh and superbly long- a marvel. Anyone who thinks Lafon is only about white wine is missing this epic experience. Volnay Santenots is arguably among the top red wines of the Côte de Beaune, and Santenots-du-Milieu is the best portion of it (Lafon owns nearly half of this appellation). He destems the fruit, does a cold soak and punches down regularly before ageing in cask (one-third new). 97/100

Tim Atkin om: Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu Premier Cru

Brooding on the nose with damp branches and fireplace cinders, this is a sultry one. Its tannins are tugging and its acidity is feisty. Moreover, the fruits lean black than toward their usual red and blue orientation, and black currants and black cherries abound. There's some real muscle fibre here, and this could use some time. Comtes Lafon has a generous 3.9 hectares, which is almost half of Santenots du Milieu. 2025-35. 94/100

Parker om: Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu Premier Cru

The 2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu is excellent, wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of wild berries, plums and cassis mingled with hints of spices, grilled meats and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and tightly wound, with powdery structuring tannins and lively acids. This is a serious Santenots that will require some bottle age, and it's among the best that I can remember tasting chez Lafon over the last decade. 93-95/100

Jancis Robinson om: Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu Premier Cru

Cask sample. Deep ruby; blackcurrants, blackberry and black cherry. Sensuously ripe with vibrant structure, great intensity and length. 17,5+/20
