What is this wine?
Domaine Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022 is a pure, elegant red Burgundy from one of Volnay’s most revered traditional producers. The Lafarge family has been making wine since the early 19th century and continues to farm biodynamically under Frédéric Lafarge’s direction. Grapes for this cuvée come from old-vine parcels just outside the Volnay appellation, planted on limestone-rich soils. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts in cement vats, followed by aging in older French oak barrels to maintain freshness and authenticity.

Why get this wine?
Michel Lafarge is a benchmark name in Burgundy — renowned for crafting soulful, terroir-driven wines that marry finesse and depth. The 2022 vintage, generous yet balanced, brings bright fruit and supple texture while preserving the domaine’s hallmark purity. This Bourgogne Rouge offers a true taste of Volnay’s refinement at an accessible price, making it a perennial favorite among collectors and sommeliers.

What does this wine taste like?
Delicate and expressive, with notes of red cherry, raspberry, violet, and subtle spice. The palate is silky and precise, framed by fine tannins and a mineral finish that speaks of limestone soils.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink 2024–2032. Serve slightly cool (around 58°F). A perfect pairing for roast chicken, duck, or mushroom dishes — and a graceful introduction to Lafarge’s iconic style.

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 87-90
"Note: from 40+ year old vines in Petit Pré which was once classified as Volnay villages This is also wonderfully fresh with its cool and pretty aromas of essence of red pinot fruit, spice and a more subtle suggestion of newly turned earth. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the delicious middle weight flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the strikingly complex and lengthy finish. Like the Anthologie, it's rare to find this level of quality in a regional wine plus it should repay 5 to 8 years of keeping. Highly recommended. *Burghound Outstanding! Top Value!* "

Antonio Galloni

AG 87-89
"The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, a blend of two vineyards, offers vivid red cherry, raspberry and light bergamot scents on the nose, well-defined, perhaps not with quite the same class as the Passetoutgrains. The harmonious palate has impressive grip, quite Volnay-like in style, unsurprising given that the vines conjoin the appellation, quite sumptuous on the finish. Worth seeking out. " -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 88
"The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir delivers aromas of cherries, plums and sweet berries, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and fine-boned palate." -William Kelley
