Lafarge's production is modest and after tasting the wines, many people become obsessed with them. The wines have an understated grace that borders on magical.
Across the range Lafarge's wines have a gorgeous clarity and precision, from the Bourgogne rouge to his under-appreciated work in Beaune, and finally his famed Volnay 1er Cru Clos du Château des Ducs and Clos des Chênes.
The soulfulness and age-worthiness of Lafarge shouldn't be missed.
