Santenots du Milieu the best of the six lieu-dits of the overarching vineyard, Santenots. It’s right in the heart of the vineyard, 8ha in total. Domaine des Comtes Lafon owns nearly half of it! The vineyard and all its lieu-dit are located in Meursault but are allowed to be labeled as Volnay. The vineyard is rich in clay, more so than is typical in Volnay, so in the diaspora that is Volnay, the wines do come across full with rich textures when compared to other Volnay.
Dominique Lafon's vines were planted in 1944, 1962, 1965, 1978.
