Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
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 and an intense fruit core: quintessential Volnay. A more ethereal feel this year with fine texture and a lift of wild strawberry and cherry blossom.

The 2023 Volnay Les Mitans 1er Cru is aged in 15% new oak. It has a cohesive bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry and crushed iris flower scents. It gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red and black fruit. Quite compact on the mid-palate, it offers orange rind and sour cherries on the finish. Drink this over the next 15 years.
An even mid purple. Stricter on the nose, firmer tannins in the middle, but a wealth of dark red fruit as well, more on the austere side but with excellent persistence. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Dec 2024.
