Dominique Lafon rates vintage 2002 'among the greats,' as it brought high quality in chardonnay and pinot noir.In November, he told me he may well prefer the 2002 reds to his impressive '99s. The '99s are thicker and darker, but they're less stylish than the 2002s,' he explained.

Dominique Lafon has been on a roll with his white wines in recent years, but his Volnay vineyards took a beating from the weather in 2000 and 2001. Tannins affected by hail don't ripen the same way as those of unaffected grapes," said Lafon, who harvested selectively in 2001, leaving the dried berries behind. Lafon bought a vibrating table to make it easier to eliminate any dried berries that were brought into the cuverie Due to the small quantity of healthy grapes in 2001 (representing a yield of less than 15 hectoliters per hectare), Lafon vinified his Champans and Clos des Chenes fruit together in 2001.
