2022 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves, Michel Lafarge

2022 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves, Michel Lafarge

In 2022 the vines celebrated their 101st birthday (not that anyone’s counting), and lay claim to being oldest vines of the domaine. And although their home village of Volnay is what many people think of when they hear Lafarge, their noble Beaune holdings are equally highly regarded, with Grèves the finest. This is a complete thrill in 2022.

Tasting notes

Last year of the 100+ year old plot on its own – young vines will be incorporated next year. Even so 32 hl/ha from 101 year old vines. An even crimson to ruby colour. There are firm gravelly tannins here plus the exceptional intensity of ancient vines. Good acidity too. Needs plenty of time. Lots of detail here. Drink from 2031-2038. Tasted: December 2023.
