About this Item
Michel Lafarge is the quintessential family domaine. Michel Lafarge, who joined his father at the family-owned domaine in the late 1940s after World War Two, was also a trailblazer in Burgundy, being among the first small-scale producers to begin bottling his own wines for export,’ writes Decanter. Continuing his father’s legacy, Frédéric and his daughter Clothilde make some of the best wines in Volnay from their 10 hectares, which include some of the most prime sites in Volnay. In 2014, they purchased vineyards in Beaujolais and farm them using the same biodynamic practices they employed in the Côte de Beaune.
Meursault is a prestigious appellation within the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, celebrated for its elegant and complex white wines made from Chardonnay grapes. Vendanges Sélectionnées translates to "selected harvest," indicating that the grapes used for this wine were carefully chosen to ensure optimal quality. This meticulous selection process is a hallmark of Michel Lafarge's winemaking philosophy, emphasizing the importance of terroir expression and purity in their wines.

Critics Ratings
‘This is riper still and the ripeness translates into openly exotic aromas that include mango, papaya and pineapple that complement the rich, full and sweet flavors brimming with buckets of dry extract that confer a textured, even silky mouth feel onto the somewhat longer and very sappy finish. This is very round and forward and should drink well early.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (Jul 2008)
