The 2023 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu is the most textural and concentrated of Lafon's reds this year, wafting from the glass with notes of dark berries, vine smoke and spices, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, layered and satiny, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by sweet tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window.
