Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay 2021
Descripción
Debido a lo exiguo de la cosecha, esta añada del Volnay Premier Cru de Domaine Michel Lafarge nace de un ensamblaje inédito de los vinos obtenidos de los cinco terruños que la bodega posee con esa categoría. Solo se elaboraron 10 barricas de este único embotellado que según explicó el bodeguero Frédéric Lafarge a Decanter, posee "la generosidad del Clos des Chênes, la mineralidad del Taillepieds y la nobleza del Clos du Château des Ducs".

Opinión de los críticos
An almost tragic cuvée – Lafarge did not produce enough wine to make any of his premier cru wines from Volnay as a stand-alone appellation, and all five are blended here into a single premier cru bottling. The result has a fairly deep ruby hue, a lovely plummy fruit, and lots of aromatic intensity. It is a wine of outstanding quality, given the circumstances, with fresh acidity, good density and supple tannins. Lafarge remarked 'It has both the generosity of the Clos des Chênes, the minerality of Taillepieds, and the noblesse of the Clos du Château des Ducs.’
The 2021 Volnay 1er Cru is a blend of all the domaine's five premiers crus, a first in the estate's history, cropped at a mere eight hectoliters per hectare. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, rose petals, orange zest and sweet spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with terrific concentration, ripe tannins and a long, precise, mineral finish. Only 10 barrels were produced.
