CHARMES CHAMBERTIN Grand Cru Domaine Lignier-Michelot 2014
(from tiny grapes in what Lignier described as the last plot in Mazoyères before Charmes; 13. 2% natural alcohol; 60% vendange entier; Lignier did just a single pigeage late in the fermentation): Deep red-ruby. Superripe but brooding aromas of cassis, blackberry, smoked meat, game, licorice and bitter chocolate. Plush, thick and sweet but with surprising definition and lift to its violet and boysenberry flavors. Not a particularly mineral style but a major mouthful of sweet, supple purple fruits. This wine has a rather high pH of 3. 7 but does not lack for energy. Lignier noted that he used to make this wine with 100% whole clusters. He farms these vines for the owner but noted that they will probably be sold before the 2016 harvest.
Volnay 1er cru Les Santenots du Milieu, Domaine des Comtes Lafon (Magnum) 2020
Dominique Lafon has an enviable 3.8Ha in the finest part of Volnay Santenots. It's an early ripening vineyard giving smooth, ripe damson fruit, soft tannins and more richness than most Volnays. Lafon is now well known for its reds.
