What is this wine?
Domaine Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés 2022 is a beautifully expressive white Burgundy from one of Volnay’s most revered traditional estates. The Lafarge family has tended vines since the early 19th century and now farms all their holdings biodynamically. This bottling comes from old-vine Aligoté Doré, the golden-berried, superior strain of the Aligoté grape, planted in limestone-rich soils just outside Volnay. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in neutral oak barrels, the wine captures both texture and crystalline purity.

Why get this wine?
Lafarge’s Raisins Dorés is one of Burgundy’s benchmark Aligotés — a cult favorite among sommeliers for its tension, complexity, and mineral depth. The 2022 vintage shows the generosity of the year balanced by the domaine’s hallmark precision. It’s an exceptional value for a wine that delivers the finesse and longevity usually reserved for far pricier white Burgundies.

What does this wine taste like?
Lively and precise, with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, almond, and chalk. The palate is taut and textural, with vibrant acidity and a saline, mineral finish that lingers.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2032. Serve well-chilled as an aperitif or with shellfish, grilled vegetables, or goat cheese. A wine that pairs freshness with quiet depth.

Left Domaine Michel Lafarge

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

Antonio Galloni

AG 87-89
"The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés has a very pure bouquet, quite entrancing, with scents of honeysuckle, quince and Japanese yuzu. Lovely definition. The palate is well-balanced with a spicy entry. It’s a lively Aligoté with a touch of pepperiness towards the finish. Delightful." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 89
"Picked on September 17, the 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés exhibits aromas of sweet yellow orchard fruit, white flowers and buttery pastry, followed by a medium-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's satiny and layered." -William Kelley
