2021 Domaine Michel Lafarge, Volnay

Domaine Michel Lafarge is a multi-generational estate based in the village of Volnay, where the family has been producing wine since the 19th century and pioneered the shift to full biodynamic farming in 2000. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grown on the limestone-rich soils that define the appellation’s unique character. In the glass, it shows bright red berry fruit, distinct floral aromatics, and a fine, silken texture. The 2021 vintage was marked by low yields and challenging weather, resulting in a restrained, elegant expression of the site with high energy and precision. This bottle is built for the cellar, though its balance and focus make it a compelling choice for those seeking to understand the classic, traditional style of the domaine.
