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 91-93
"The 2022 Volnay Les Caillerets 1er Cru, the vineyard that has been worked by horse and by hand since 2018, is very precise on the nose, mixing red and black fruit with hints of graphite and crushed stone. Impressive complexity here. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins and a fine bead of acidity. There’s a little more succulence towards the finish where it doesn't quite possess the complexity of Lafarge's top cuvées. Still, a mighty fine Volnay." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 91-93
"Pure and fine-boned, the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Les Caillerets wafts from the glass with scents of cherries, sweet red berries, toasted spices and subtle balsamic overtones. Medium-bodied, bright and precise, it's a delicate, perfumed wine that concludes with a mineral finish." -William Kelley
