Comtes Lafon Volnay 2022

90-93 points/'Outstanding/Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "From young vines in Santenots. Ripe aromas include those of black cherry liqueur, kirsch, anise and a hint of violet. Here too the medium weight flavors are rich, concentrated and velvety with equally good minerality adding a similar sense of lift on the slightly longer and firmer finale. Moreover, this well-made effort possesses very good development potential, which is to say out to a decade. This too is worth considering. Drink: 2030+. (Apr 2024)"

90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Volnay Village was almost completely de-stemmed and comes from the young vines in Santenots. It has a perfumed nose of black plum, raspberry fruit, and a touch of dried iris flower. This Volnay has crunchy tannins and pure black fruit with a slightly chalky textured finish. Lots of depth, considering this is a Village Cru, perhaps betraying its Santenot origins. Drink 2026-2040 (Jan 2024)"

89-92 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "This village cuvée is made from the youngest vines of 1er Cru Santenots, planted in 2002 and 2015. Fine bright mid purple. A fresh bright red fruit with some density. Clean dark berry fruit, good acidity here, plenty of energy and a Volnay class in the fruit. More exuberant from an unracked barrel. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted Oct 2023."

91 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com) (2024).

89-91 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "A cuvée produced from young vines in Les Santenots, the 2022 Volnay Village exhibits aromas of sweet red berries, plums and petals, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and charming palate. This will drink well pretty much on release. (Jan 2024)"
