Since Michel Lafarge's passing in 2020, son Frédéric and granddaughter Clothilde preserve his legacy as one of Volnay's greatest names, farming organically and biodynamically with minimal new oak. This 1.5L magnum of Les Pitures captures the essence of Volnay terroir through traditional, destemmed Pinot Noir that refutes modern winemaking trends. Nothing about this wine is fashionable—only timeless, elegant Burgundy crafted with multi-generational reverence.

Antonio Galloni

90-92 points

"The 2022 Volnay Les Pitures 1er Cru is only bottled en magnum as it's a small cuvée (0.15ha) and is more backward on the nose with touches of seaweed inflecting the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm and slightly granular tannins. It's not quite as finessed as the Les Mitans, but the finish has plenty of substance and grip. A broad-shouldered Volnay. Give it 4-5 years or more in bottle." —Neal Martin

Robert Parker

91-93 points

"Taut and mineral, the 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Pitures reveals aromas of dark berries, cherries, spices and mint. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, with powdery tannins and a chalky finish, it's generally bottled only in magnum." —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.
