The 2013 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru offers blackberry, raspberry, undergrowth and loamy scents on the nose, nicely defined and fresh after ten years. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly rustic tannins, ferrous, lifted acidity with maybe just a touch more bitterness on the finish than I would have liked. It's a tad dry, but this still has much to offer. I would drink this earlier than the 2013 Les Perrières. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2023)

In a dumb phase between fruit and tertiary. Lots of potential.

A little angular and thin at first but pulled itself together. A very nice bottle but not quite the laser-like limestone driven poise I recall from other vintages. Good wine but not a value by any stretch

Amazing vitality still. Poise and polish, this is a gorgeous Volnay from the Meursault masters.

Not a great fan of comtes lafon’s reds. This wine smells like nail polish, it frankly stinks. Austere beyond belief, zero fruit.

Almost a perfect pinot noir! Everything a great burgundy should have red fruit, mushrooms, soil, a touch a charred oak. So good 😊
