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

Decanter

D 92
"Ripe quince and apricot fruit, with a slight hint of herbs but also a note of honey. The silky texture caresses the palate and there is none of the acerbity younger vines can produce with this grape. Lafarge was very pleased with his Aligoté: 'There was good quality and reasonable alcohol; the 2019 was a classic, but the 2020 has great depth."
