The Lafarge family has always made one of my absolute favorite examples of Bourgogne Rouge and their 2023 version is another stellar wine. It delivers a complex bouquet of plums, red and black cherries, gamebird, woodsmoke, a lovely base of dark soil tones, raw cocoa and a gently floral topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and shows a refined undercarriage of moderate tannin, with find focus, balance and precision on the long backend. Fine juice. (Drink between 2029-2050)
