2021 Domaine Michel Lafarge, Volnay 1x750ml

Vinous 89

The 2021 Volnay Village has a bright but classically-styled bouquet with tertiary, tobacco-tinged red fruit, the oak neatly integrated (though there is no new wood here.) The palate is medium-bodied, open and generous with grainy tannins, fine acidity and a saline finish. Maybe a little monochrome compared to other vintages, but it should give a decade’s drinking pleasure. [Neal Martin, 01/05/2023]
