What is this wine?

Domaine Michel Lafarge, an icon of Volnay, has been producing some of Burgundy’s most soulful, terroir-expressive wines since the 19th century. Now under Frédéric and Chantal Lafarge, the domaine continues its biodynamic farming and traditional cellar practices with unwavering precision.
The Bourgogne Passetoutgrain “L’Exception Anthologie” 2022 is a special cuvée sourced from very old vines (up to 90+ years old) of Pinot Noir and Gamay, co-planted in the same historic parcel near Volnay. “Anthologie” represents a rare, small bottling made only in top vintages, showcasing the extraordinary quality this modest appellation can achieve in the Lafarge hands. Vinification follows the domaine’s classical methods: whole clusters, indigenous yeasts, and aging in neutral oak barrels.

Why get this wine?

This is Burgundy heritage in a glass—a cuvée that transforms the humble Passetoutgrain into something profound. It offers the Lafarge family’s hallmark elegance, minerality, and depth at remarkable value. In magnum, it’s particularly ageworthy, highlighting the vibrancy and balance of the 2022 vintage.

What does this wine taste like?

Aromatic and refined, with red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and gentle spice. The palate is lithe and precise, featuring fine-grained tannins and a long, mineral, subtly earthy finish.

When should you drink this wine?

Drink now for its bright fruit and charm, or cellar 8–12 years to develop secondary complexity. In magnum, it’s perfect for the table—pair with roast chicken, charcuterie, or mushroom dishes.

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.
