A quirk of Burgundy law: Les Santenots du Milieu sits physically in the commune of Meursault, but when planted to Pinot Noir it is classified as Volnay 1er Cru — and this site is Lafon's classic red, sourced from iron-rich soils that give the wine its dark fruit and savory depth. Dominique Lafon's biodynamic farming and unhurried élevage shape a Volnay that's structured but never austere, the kind of red that ages gracefully for two decades or more. One of the most distinguished addresses for Volnay 1er Cru in the Côte de Beaune.
