Another of Lafon's top Volnay 1er Crus, and a wonderful counterpoint to Santenots. Where Santenots leans structured and savory from its hard, iron-rich limestone soils, Champans sits on deeper, crumblier limestone-clay soils and delivers a more aromatic, floral style — classic Volnay perfume. Dominique Lafon may be the most celebrated white winemaker of his generation, but his reds are no afterthought; he has Burgundy in his blood, and the family's Volnay holdings are among the village's finest. 2023 brought freshness, lift, and silky tannins — a vintage that suits Champans beautifully.
