2017 Bourgogne Passetoutgrains l'Exception, Michel Lafarge

2017 Bourgogne Passetoutgrains l'Exception, Michel Lafarge

Ref: LAFA171
Red  |  Still  |  12.5% ABV

The wines at this great Volnay estate are now made by Frédéric Lafarge, Michel's son. The domaine works around 10 hectares of vines biodynamically and produces among the finest wines in the Côte de Beaune. The cellars here are low-ceilinged, cobwebbed and there's very little evidence of new barrels (very few are employed). Yet the wines emanating from the old wood casks are as beautiful an expression of their individual grape varieties and terroirs as one could hope to encounter.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes

The nose is rather fabulous - quite aristocratic even - of ripe dark cherry/cassis fruit. In the mouth the fruit is rich and dense, but firm with the structure within. A cool and consistent palate, showing very fine, clay-like tannin. A very long wine with superb snap. Lovely finish, too. Bowes Wine original note

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
