Domaine Michel Lafarge

This 10ha domaine produces some of the finest wines in Volnay and has been farmed biodynamically since 1999. It is run by Michel Lafarge and his son Frédéric, who farm their vineyards using biodynamic principles. The Pinot Noir characteristics are show cased brilliantly at this domaine. Very little new oak is used, only around 5%, with barrels between 2 and 5 years preferred. The style is alluring, complex and harmonious and is exactly what one looks for in great Volnay
With no new oak used, this wine is a pure expression of both Pinot Noir and the Volnay appellation. The nose is vibrant and seductive, showing fresh, juicy red fruits. On the palate, concentrated yet crunchy red fruit is complemented by supple tannins and a fine streak of minerality that carries through to a long, elegant finish.
There is no new oak used in the elevation of this wine.
