2022 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées, Michel Lafarge

2022 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

The best plots adjacent to the 1ers crus and with 10% new wood which the straight Volnay does not get. A little more fruit density on the nose, with a burst of red fruit energy on the palate, a tannin or two waiting to complete the rounding out process, the small percentage of new wood still evident at this stage. There is that much more to it than the regular Volnay in 2022. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: December 2023.
