WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Michel Lafarge Pinot Noir Bourgogne is a legendary estate based in Volnay. The grapes for this wine all come from one parcel, Petit Pré, which is a southeast-facing clay and limestone vineyard. In the winery, little new oak is used to allow the purity of the fruit to shine through, giving wines of exceptional purity, focus and energy. After approximately 2 weeks fermentation using indigenous yeast, the wine is aged for roughly 18 months in older barrels.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Domaine Michel Lafarge Pinot Noir Bourgogne offers a complex and nuanced nose of red fruit and floral notes of violets and rose petals.The palate is delicate and perfumed, with a silky structure coming from the tannins and balanced lively acidity that lifts the wine and brings freshness. The finish lingers with notes of dark cherry, turned earth and freshly cut mushrooms.
