2023 Michel Lafarge Volnay Vendanges Select
Secondary Description
Vendanges Selectionnees
The Vendanges Selectionees cuvee comes from 4 lieu-dits just below the premier crus, or what Frederic Lafarge calls ‘the best terroirs of the village appellation’. This is notably more lifted and floral than the Volnay; the palate is marked by the sensations of spice, and a piquant salinity. The cuvee has a notable energy. (NT 11/12/24)

Media Reviews
Jasper Morris MW
10% new wood. A more definite purple colour. Lively raspberry, such stylish wines, not enormously more grip than the regular, perhaps an extra tannin at the very end, but the velvet covering lasts even longer at the back of the palate. Superb finesse. 5* 91-93 points
Neal Martin
The 2023 Volnay Vendanges Selectionnees comes from four selected parcels located just below the Premier Crus and matured in 10% new oak. This is a level up from the regular cuvee with more fruit intensity and presence, presenting raspberry and wild strawberry laced with undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive concentration, gentle grip and a slightly chalky texture toward its finale of frisson and energy. Very fine. 91-93 points
