Domaine Michel Lafarge
Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Definitely has more time ahead of it. Broad and intense fruit through a narrow lens.

Dec 5th, 2020This could arguably age quite a bit longer, but not certain there is much upside once fruit dissipates.

Jul 24th, 2020High toned perfume, vivacious acidity, lovely elegance and fineness about it. Fruit is cool, beautifully just ripe, and lovely with its pure approach. Strawberry, cranberry, blood orange, mineral, fern forest, and light flower notes. Despite the “lightness,” this has sufficient stuffing to it. Great window into Volnay purity and Lafarge style.
