It possesses the perfect combination of drainage and clay depth, producing a wine that stands head and shoulders above a standard Volnay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eHere is the twist: Geographically, this soil is rich, heavy clay—the kind of dirt that produces immense power and density. Because of this, the wine drinks with the broad shoulders and muscle of a Pommard, defying the \"delicate\" stereotype of the village. It is a paradox of a wine: it has the perfume of Volnay but the structural weight of a Corton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eWe have secured this 2020 in extremely rare \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"44\"\u003e1.5L Magnums\u003c\/b\u003e, which is the only way you should be buying a vintage like this. The 2020 growing season produced reds of immense concentration and color. This is a \"vin de garde\" (a wine for keeping) in the truest sense. In a standard bottle, it will need a decade; in magnum, it will evolve glacially, turning into a masterpiece over the next 20 to 30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine des Comtes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057254154497,"sku":"4215396-MAG","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/4215396-MAG_1.png?v=1769048120","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2020-domaine-des-comtes-lafon-1er-cru-santenots-du-milieu-volnay-burgundy-france-1500ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
