What is this wine?
Domaine Michel Lafarge Meursault Vendanges Sélectionnées 2022 is a beautifully balanced white Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected traditional producers. The Lafarge family, based in Volnay since the 19th century, is known for biodynamic farming and minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. The fruit for this cuvée comes from carefully selected Meursault parcels on limestone and marl soils, harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts. The wine is aged in mostly neutral French oak barrels to preserve purity, texture, and the terroir’s natural minerality.

Why get this wine?
Lafarge’s white wines are rare and sought after for their precision and restraint. Vendanges Sélectionnées expresses Meursault’s hallmark richness with a distinctly Lafarge touch — more mineral, taut, and understated than opulent. The 2022 vintage, marked by ripe fruit and bright acid balance, offers early approachability with excellent aging potential. It’s an insider’s Meursault for those who prize finesse over flash.

What does this wine taste like?
Elegant and vibrant, with aromas of lemon curd, pear, hazelnut, and white flowers. The palate is textured yet focused, showing chalky minerality and a long, saline finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink 2025–2036. Serve slightly cool (around 55°F). Perfect with roasted poultry, seared scallops, or creamy mushroom pasta.

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 89-92
"Note: from En Marcausse. This is aromatically similar to the straight Meursault but with more floral elements that include carnation and lilac. On the palate the medium-bodied flavors are clearly denser with a beautifully textured, caressing and seductive mouthfeel, all wrapped in a sneaky long and impeccably well-balanced finale. This could use better depth but the underlying material is clearly present for that to occur in time.*Burghound Outstanding Top Value!*"

Robert Parker

RP 90-91
"The 2022 Meursault Vendanges Sélectionnées opens in the glass with aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, confit orange and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's bright and lively, concluding with a saline finish. It's derived from vines just below Les Santenots." -William Kelley
