Domaine des Comtes Lafon - Volnay Champans 2011 (750ml)

Vinous 93 points
"One of the most impressive wines of the year, the 2011 Volnay Champans literally bristles with energy and tension. Dark red cherry and plum notes meld into crushed flowers and rocks in a pulsating Volnay endowed with crystalline precision and fabulous balance. Absolutely nothing is out of place in a wine that is totally alive and striking in its beauty."

"A wonderfully well-layered, pure and airy nose features notes of various red berries, earth and discreet stone elements. There is outstanding intensity to the impressively scaled broad-shouldered flavors that exude a fine minerality before culminating in a palate soaking finish that delivers seriously good length. I very much like this as it delivers great intensity with impeccably good balance."
