Domaine Lafarge was run for the last 60 years by the legendary Michel Lafarge and nowadays is run by his son Frédéric assisted by his wife Chantal, and daughter Clothilde. This domaine is famous for producing some of the greatest traditional Volnays, from biodynamic farmed vineyards.
William Kelly (Wine Advocate)
"The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Aigrots Blanc offers up aromas of minty pear, apple, white flowers and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, ample and incisive, with tangy acids and a penetrating finish, this has turned out especially well."
