Volnay 1er Cru Clos du Château des Ducs Lafarge (Domaine) 2001
The wine
Domaine Lafarge is a 12-hectare family estate in Volnay, which dates back to the 18th century; each generation since has been devoted to its bourgeoning success. In 1949, Michel joined forces with his father to cultivate the domain and his own son, Frédéric, joined him respectively in 1978. Since 1997, he has steered the domain towards biodynamics and since 2000, the whole estate is cultivated according to organic methods.
Volnay Clos du Château des Ducs opens with a floral bouquet (peony, violet), offering long-lasting fruit in the mouth – especial notes of cherry, redcurrant and raspberry. A wine with elegant, lingering expressiveness.
Lafarge is a family-owned domain of 12 hectares, established in Volnay since the 19th century. Since then, each generation has strived to make it prosper and grow. In 1949 Michel and his father ran the domain; his son Frédéric joined them in 1978. From 1997 he started to use biodynamics in the domain and since 2000 all the vineyards are organically cultivated.
