2022 Domaine Michel Lafarge, Volnay 1x750ml

Vinous 88-90

A blend of six parcels spread around the appellation, the 2022 Volnay Village has a well-defined and quite Pommard-like nose. The palate is medium-bodied, quite robust for a Volnay, and grippy with a slightly muscular but focused finish. A gutsy Volnay in the making, and as such, it will require 3-4 years in bottle. It may land at the top of my banded score. [Neal Martin, 01/11/2024]
