Red Wine: 2005 | Domaine Michel Lafarge | Volnay Vendanges Selectionnees

The nose is complex and compelling, as it offers up notes of red berries, red plums, lovely minerality, woodsmoke and a topnote of esthery spices. On the palate the wine is medium-full, closed and again, strikingly pure and transparent, with a rock solid core of fruit, moderate tannins, and fine length and grip on the tangy finish.

        Reviews:

        • Wine Advocate: From four parcels proximate in geography and potential quality to their uphill, premier cru neighbors comes the Lafarge 2005 Volnay Vendanges Selectionnees. Deeper, darker and denser in color, structure and flavor than the “regular” Volnay at this address (and as such more typical of this vintage), this offers generous black cherry and plum with tart fruit skin and bitter fruit pit adjuncts. A rich meatiness puts one in mind a bit of Pommard (not surprising given that two of the vineyards incorporated into this bottling lie on the communal line), as does this wine’s firm tannic backbone. Wet stone and humus notes add complexity to the persistently bright fruit and rich meatiness.
        • Burghound: A notably ripe yet elegant and refined nose offers red pinot and black cherry aromas nuanced by hints of earth and animale that can also be found on the rich, velvety and equally serious medium plus weight flavors that coat the mouth with dense but fine tannins and admirable levels of dry extract. Recommended though note that this will need at least 6 to 8 years to really be at its best.

        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. Today Michel Lafarge's son, Frédéric produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyard-owned land in Volnay. 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. Michel Lafarge passed away in 2020. The estate is no co-managed by Frédéric Lafarge with his wife, Chantal.
