From: Burgundy, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Lafarge is a name calculated to bring the most serious Burgundy lover to their knees. On any list, Lafarge is in the very top tier of quality, producing wines of great purity and refinement that age beautifully. To us here at Champion, Lafarge is our church.
"Volnay, to me it is about balance," said Frédéric Lafarge. "There is always a lot of balance and harmony in the wines. You have the elegance, the finesse, the distinction, the power, the length, and the silky tannins."
Tasting Notes:
"This is...wonderfully fresh and bright with its nicely elegant red cherry, currant, spice, and softly earth-inflected aromas. Once again, the medium-weight flavors possess a really lovely texture along with evident minerality on the balanced and sneaky long finish. This beautifully harmonious effort should age well over the mid-term." –Burghound.com, 89-91 points (barrel sample)
