2020 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Aigrots, Domaine Lafarge

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

Tasting notes

The 2020 Beaune Clos des Aigrots 1er Cru has an airy bouquet, very transparent with redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, the 15% new oak nearly integrated. Very minerally. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins. This is a strict and mineral driven Beaune, very tensile but with ample weight and concentration on the finish. Excellent.
