Domaine Lafarge Bourgogne Rouge 2021
$89.00
Description
Outstanding Top value "A slightly more elegant nose is comprised by aromas of red pinot fruit, plum and soft earth nuances. There is again good vibrant and detail to the utterly delicious medium weight flavors that culminate in a highly refreshing and lingering finale. This is also terrific for its level and equally highly recommended."
87-89 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Apr 2023
From Petit Pré whichwas once classified as Volnay villages. Planted between 1966-1977. 2 weeks cuvaison, indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 18 months in older barrels.
"Offering up aromas of earthy red berries and spices, the 2021 Bourgogne Pinot Noir is medium-bodied, lively and mouthwatering."
86-88 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Feb 2023
"A paler pink crimson. Superb classic floral pinot nose. Fills the mouth very prettily, medium bodied but elegant and very long. Drink from 2024-2028. Tasted: October 2022."
