Brilliantly composed wines – “perfectly structured without excess flamboyance,” these biodynamic 2022s shine with elegance, precision, and age-worthy finesse. (Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy Jun 2024).
Classic Lafarge purity – “ripe but the fresh is more red than dark,” showing exceptional energy, clarity, and terroir definition reminiscent of the great 1964 and 1966 vintages. (Frédéric Lafarge via Allan Meadows, Burghound Jun 2024)

Tasting Notes
From Petit Pré which was once classified as Volnay villages. Planted between 1966-1977. 2 weeks cuvaison, indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 18 months in older barrels.
‘The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, a blend of two vineyards, offers vivid red cherry, raspberry and light bergamot scents on the nose, well-defined, perhaps not with quite the same class as the Passetoutgrains. The harmonious palate has impressive grip, quite Volnay-like in style, unsurprising given that the vines conjoin the appellation, quite sumptuous on the finish. Worth seeking out. Drink 2025-2035’ Neal Martin, Vinous Oct 2023
