2020 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées, Michel Lafarge

2020 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées, Michel Lafarge

This comes from the family’s best parcels in the village - in Les Grands Champs, Les Pluchots, La Gigotte, and Ez Echards, all of which border the premiers crus just above. It has a dialled up complexity and depth of fruit, with slightly more emphatic tannins, making it a great candidate for ageing.

Tasting notes

Matured in around 10% new oak, the 2020 Volnay "Vendange Sélectionée" is more floral than the regular cuvée with scents of dried rose petals infusing the red berry fruit, a touch of wet limestone underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple opening, fine acidity, gentle grip with a little more substance on the strict finish. Very fine, but it needs 3-5 years in bottle.
