Volnay Tradition Personified: Domaine Michel Lafarge
The highlight through eight days in Burgundy was undoubtedly visiting with Frédéric Lafarge in Volnay. The village is synonymous with grace and delicacy, but ardent collectors know in the traditional realm they can be among the most long-lived in Burgundy. And, without hesitation, the wines of Domaine Michel Lafarge are the model for this tightrope act of finesse and tension that ultimately leads to slow transformation in bottle.
Today, I'm happy to offer a diverse range stretching from the ultimate insider and best Burgundy buy, the 2015 Lafarge Bourgogne Rouge through the 1991 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées.
Domaine Michel Lafarge was founded in the early 1800's, and today is managed by Michel, with his son Frédéric, and granddaughter Clothilde. The trio has seen dramatic trends sweep through Burgundy in their time. During the 1950's, vignerons started incorporating chemicals in the vineyard, but Lafarge never considered it. In the mid to late 80's when the practice of elevated extraction was rampant this domaine continued their own path founded on transparency. And then in 1995, Lafarge was one of the very first to begin biodynamic practices in the vineyard.
Tradition can mean so many things in Burgundy, but the use of hand-destemming and reliance on nearly all older barrels for aging places the domaine in a very specific position.
It may be unfair to jump in categorizing Volnay as feminine and ethereal, leading one to believe the wines lack the rigid structure required for serious aging. Michel Lafarge touched on this really eloquently in his terrific interview with Levi Dalton on I'll Drink to That! Wine Podcast:
"It's difficult to achieve the silkiness in tannins, but in Volnay it's unacceptable to have hardness. It's the silkiness of the tannins that define the overriding definition of Volnay."
Domaine Lafarge holds vineyards primarily in Volnay, with plots in Pommard, Beaune, and Meursault. All wines have a regal frame met with the translucent qualities that put terroir firmly in the crosshairs. Volnay may not have Grand Cru vineyards, but if given the opportunity to drink any Côte de Beaune reds, my first choice is always Volnay.
A few bottles opened over the last year have amped up my love affair with this domaine: At La Paulée, the 2000 Clos du Château des Ducs was a great reminder that when Lafarge hits that perfect window it's simply breathtaking. A 1993 Volnay Vendanges Sélectionnées proved that aging the more humble designations is the wisest thing one can do. And at this summer's wedding of a dear friend, a magnum of 2006 Clos des Chênes was far more generous and approachable than anyone would have guessed, a beautifully pristine example of Pinot Noir from one of the best slices of limestone in all of Burgundy!
Of course the array of Premier Crus from Lafarge are the most profound, but I cannot stress enough how much enjoyment there is to be had from the Bourgogne Rouge - from one hectare of 41-52 yr-old vines in the lieu dit, Petit Pré.
