2018 | Michel Lafarge | Volnay

100% de-stemmed, pneumatic pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation and aged for 18 months in older oak barrels, unfiltered.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2018 Volnay Village reveals lovely aromas of dark berries, peonies and earthy forest floor. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, lively and succulent, with fine, powdery tannins and a mineral finish.

• Vinous: The 2018 Volnay Village comes from several parcels. It has a very pure bouquet of wild strawberry, cranberry and light crushed stone aromas, all delivered with fine delineation. The palate is very well balanced with chalky tannins that frame the open-knit, pure red cherry and strawberry fruit, leading to an elegant, persistent finish. Joyful.

Producer Information

Domaine Michel Lafarge is a producer of Burgundy wines located in Volnay, on the Côte de Beaune. The domaine was established in the 18th Century by Michel Lafarge's great-great-grandparents and remains family-owned.
In 1995, Michel Lafarge was among the first in Burgundy to experiment with biodynamic viticulture and is known for his minimal intervention techniques in the vineyard and winery.

Domaine Michel Lafarge is best recognized for its Pinot Noir from Clos des Chênes, a notable Premier Cru vineyard in the village of Volnay. For all wines, around five percent new oak is used in the maturation process and wines are only lightly fined and rarely filtered before bottling.
