Domaine Michel Lafarge
Les Caillerets Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir


These wines are the most stubborn wines I've ever tried from Burgundy. They take forever to come around and when you catch them early, they don't always show up. Extreme patience and research are needed to drink these and actually try to enjoy them.

Beaty of a wine! Perfectly expressive & floral yet tightly buttoned and lean.

Pretty and light on the nose. Blue and red fruit, some fresh salinity and minerality. On the palate this is starting to drink well. Cool flavors, some stone and generous but restrained fruit with a hint of iodine.

Pure ruby color with a reticent nose with rose, plum, violet. Lovely delicate palate. A little wound up at the moment. Good balance- not a showstopper but probably a good life ahead

Ripe but delicate. Shockingly accessible for young Lafarge but that's the beauty of 2009

2000 Michel Lafarge Volnay 'Les Caillerets' : Nails. Every time. Elegant and pure with incredibly fresh, beautiful dark fruit and earth notes that dance. 👊
