2022 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Aigrots, Michel Lafarge

2022 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Aigrots, Michel Lafarge

Although their home village of Volnay is what many people think of when they hear Lafarge, their noble Beaune holdings are equally highly regarded. This is fine-boned, with grip, focus and fabulous tension, and will make fine old bones.

Tasting notes

Medium deep crimson. A fresh pinot nose, not too intense. A mid to dark raspberry fruit on the palate albeit with a certain crispness, a little wood at the back, but a complete and once again harmonious – my Lafarge word for the vintage – finish. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: December 2023.
