Domaine Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Aligote Raisins Dores 2022

$3799

From a 1.2-hectare parcel of 85-year-old Aligoté Doré vines on deep clay-limestone soils, this Burgundy icon—treated with the same precision as Lafarge's legendary Volnays—opens with an entrancing bouquet of honeysuckle, quince, and yuzu. The palate balances spicy entry with lively minerality and a touch of pepperiness toward the finish. Organic and biodynamic certified, aged 15-18 months in used barrels.

"The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés has a very pure bouquet, quite entrancing, with scents of honeysuckle, quince and Japanese yuzu. Lovely definition. The palate is well-balanced with a spicy entry. It’s a lively Aligoté with a touch of pepperiness towards the finish. Delightful." —Neal Martin

"Picked on September 17, the 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés exhibits aromas of sweet yellow orchard fruit, white flowers and buttery pastry, followed by a medium-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's satiny and layered." —William Kelley

More about 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.
