This is absolutely one of the finest wines being made in Cote Rotie today. Volcanic soils. Nose is so seductive. Unreal florals and game. Just so refined and vivid. A knockout. 9.8 nose. Wow wow wow wow. This is what one wants. I am blown away. Background of granitic stoniness. Palate is so silky, ultra sleek and has superb concentration but my goodness is so so elegant. Crunchy, energetic finish and the silkiness is just amazing. A serious amount of game throughout and what a long finish. Just so juicy, linear and energetic. This is a mind-blowing wine. Red berry fruit on the nose. Clay. Pottery. Amazing amazing wine. Perfect balance and the silkiest of silk tannins. Meaty finish. Can’t wait till this unravels but wowza. How much better can it get? Wow the tannins are so sweet, so silky and so refined. This is DEEP OCEAN! — 7 months ago
The 2022 Chablis Village has a taut, focused, mineral-driven bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite waxy in texture with a pithy, peppery lingering finish. Enjoy over the next 4-6 years. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2023)

Bright, acidic, fresh. Red fruits, spices, beginnings of an earthy forest floor. Really love everything Lafouge is producing. — 14 days ago
