2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans, Michel Lafarge

2020 Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans, Michel Lafarge

This parcel, right in the centre of the village, has been owned by the Lafarge family since 2005. It has an ideal mid-slope position, and produces a floral wine with great tension: quintessential Volnay. The 2020 is so pure and long, with a velvety structure.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru has a slightly earthier bouquet than its siblings this year, a litle more introspective. The palate is more expressive with red berry fruit, allspice and a touch of dried orange rind. There is ample energy and plenty of structure on this Mitans with a tingle on the tongue after the wine has departed, not unlike Japanese shiso leaf. This should age wonderfully in bottle.
