Mid crimson. A deliciously perfumed bouquet of grapes picked at perfect ripeness. Starts with an agreeable pure pinot then kicks on, with extra concentration at the back of the palate. Tannins nicely folded in. Harmonious. Tasted Dec 2023.

Note: from 40+ year old vines in Petit Pré which was once classified as Volnay villages. Here too there is enough wood present to merit pointing out framing the slightly more elegant essence of red berry fruit aromas that are nuanced by hints of newly turned earth and spice wisps. There is once again a really lovely texture to the delicious flavors that deliver excellent length on the balanced bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. Impressive.*Burghound Outstanding Top Value!*

The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir delivers aromas of cherries, plums and sweet berries, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and fine-boned palate. The 2022 vintage was showing well during my annual barrel tasting chez Lafarge, emphasizing the charming, pretty side of the year. The team began picking on August 26, another early harvest. As usual, reds were destemmed, in some cases manually, and élevage is taking place in predominantly used barrels, with the Lafarge's habitual racking with aeration. The result is wines with a resolutely old-school style that have a good track record of evolving gracefully in the cellar.(WK)

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.(NM)

Lots of Burgundy makes Aaron a happy lad. This is just beautiful through and through, and what kind of comes to mind generally when I envision what Burgundy means to me. The nose is soft and pretty, there's nothing that's jumping out of the glass, but it's being a coy lil guy and makes you search but every little bit of searching is worth it, getting more and more depth from the wine. There's some nice floral notes, a little bit of rosehips, and then there's just really clean and pure pretty and slightly crunchy fruit. There's raspberries, cranberry skin, pomegranate, and a little bit of strawberry in the very back. The palate is definitely on the lighter side, and there's such lovely acidity and balance with the soft tannin structure, it's just great. The fruit is brighter and a little more cranberry and pie cherry focused than compared to the nose, but there's a solid through-line that makes it all make complete sense. I could see this with chicken, salmon, and even some pork dishes with the rice saucing and cuts.

Notes

Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "4 different parcels at the bottom of the Volnay hill. Depth and width to this aroma. Extra, and quite juicy, width too. All different, all completely delicious – this is more than villages quality compared to what was generally made 25 years ago! Bravo – large-scale finishing too."(09/2024)
