Left Red Wine

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 92
"A more complex nose features notes of plum, violet, red currant, forest floor and a whiff of herbal tea. The dense, serious and almost painfully intense flavors possess a seductive texture thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm, serious and youthfully austere finale. This is also excellent for its level and the presence of the old vines in 2021 is evident."

Decanter

D 91
"The Lafarge family suffered 80% losses in the 2021 vintage and have combined their production of Volnay into just two cuvées, one village, and one premier cru. They have done their work carefully and well to produce a delicious wine with fragrant raspberry fruit and floral aromas. The texture is silky and fine, with fresh acidity, light body, and a very elegant balance. This will drink well on release and will hold for a decade at least."
