Volnay AOC, France

The reputation — the story that sells at the table
Michel Lafarge's estate is considered alongside d'Angerville as the two defining voices of Volnay — their different but complementary approaches (Lafarge: more structure, more whole-cluster; d'Angerville: more delicacy and mineral purity) frame the village's stylistic range. Allen Meadows consistently rates Lafarge at 96-98 points.
Practice
Frédéric Lafarge continues his father Michel's tradition of producing some of Volnay's purest and most age-worthy wines — biodynamic since 1997, using whole-cluster fermentation and minimal new oak. The estate's Clos du Château des Ducs and Clos des Chênes are among Volnay's most consistently magnificent wines.
