Lafarge is one of the great names in Volnay, some would say the greatest. His wines are sought out the world over, and we are always excited when our allocation arrives.

Lafarge’s home territory is Volnay, though he also has holdings in nearby Beaune and Meursault. This is an old estate that started bottling their wines in the early 1900s. Only Armand Rousseau, the DRC, and maybe two or three other growers have that kind of history.

The wines of Lafarge are magical. Despite being made in a decidedly old-school style—really no different than a generation or even two ago—they display incredible purity and not a hint of rusticity. It is the same kind of magic that Jacky Truchot was able to conjure. We only wish we could get more.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"A super-fresh nose freely offer up is essence of red cherry that is trimmed in a beautiful array of floral elements. There is a pungent minerality to the attractively textured, plump and punchy medium weight flavors that conclude in a linear, youthfully austere and bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This is firm enough to offer up to a decade of improvement."

Decanter

D 92
"The ripe red raspberry and black plum aromas of this delicious wine are accented with hints of lavender and earth. The texture is supple and velvety, with well-mastered tannins and enough freshness for balance. Lafarge relates that he finished the harvest with this parcel (on 4 October) and felt that firmer extraction with more punching down was necessary here than in sunny years – the sign of someone who trusts the healthiness of the grapes he has picked."
