2023 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay, Cote de Beaune, France
$105.00
Pinot Noir from multiple estate parcels across Volnay on shallow, stony limestone–clay; the domaine farms biodynamically and harvests by hand. Fruit is rigorously sorted with a measured share of whole clusters when perfectly ripe, then fermented with indigenous yeasts in open vats with gentle extraction. Élevage runs 12–15 months in older 228-L pièces (no new oak), with minimal racking; SO₂ is modest and added after malolactic. Bottling is done without fining and only a light filtration if needed.
Arrives Nov 2025.
