Had a 2005 Comtes Lafon Volnay a couple of days ago. Love this producer. There's a place called Willi's Wine Bar in Paris which always has several years and several kinds of Comtes Lafon white and red Burgundy. I have been known to sit at the bar and splurge on a bottle with dinner.
This was the village Volnay not his single vineyard. Spectacular. I know he's justifiably famous for his white wines, but the reds are just as good. I just wish I could afford more of the 2005 Burgundies - I tasted a bunch of them at the 2007 International Pinot Noir Celebration and they were all outstanding.
