There's something magical and captivating about Lafarge's wines and their understated grace.
I'm always excited to be able to offer the wines.

Lafarge is one of our favorite producers; there is just something about the delineation, the fine-ness, and the purity of the wines. They are wines that offer a truly soulful drinking experience.
Lafarge's wines are known for gorgeous clarity and precision. Clos des Chênes represents the pinnacle of these elements. For me, like so many others, there’s a level of refinement that makes it stand out.
As it always is, Lafarge's Clos des Chênes is one of three or four top examples of Volnay in 2023.
The 2023 is a study in how power and finesse are not mutually exclusive. This is a wine of intensity and lift with painstaking detail. The clarity and architecture are simply stunning. The 2023 Chênes is structured for the long haul.
Lafarge's 2023s are incredible, and the Chênes leads the charge. I'll close the email with a quote from Burghound: "I've said this before but it bears repeating that while Lafarge almost never misses, he has again produced some outstanding wines."

Burghound: "Cool, airy and intricately layered aromas of various red berries, violet and spice are trimmed in soft earth nuances. There is both excellent volume and delineation to the larger-bodied and tautly muscular flavors that also flash an abundance of minerality on the compact, built-to-age and wonderfully long finish. As it usually is, this is a blend of power and refinement."
