Domaine Michel Lafarge's 2004 Volnay yields from a tiny (just over 0.5 ha) monopole vineyard on the site of the 11th century Château de Volnay.

Once owned by the Ducs of Burgundy from the 13th century onward, the château itself was destroyed by fire in 1749.

The domaine is now under the ownership of Michel Lafarge who practices biodynamically farming to produce Volnay of real finesse.

“...as usual, the Lafarge '04s are among the very best of the vintage...

"Higher-toned and finer aromas of layered red fruits that are actually slightly less complex complement perfectly the sweet, delicious and impeccably balanced middle weight flavors that possess a quite similar tannic structure, which is to say firm but refined, all wrapped in a long and persistent finish. This is a wine of understatement and finesse.” Burghound
