Just one barrel of these so not much wine to write about! It’s a great example of biodynamics as the overriding sensation here is one of life, natural tension and vibrancy. In this lean year all the 1er Cru and better sites are made as this one village wine. Though still typically elegant the Meursault does boast an unusual intensity. Lemon drizzle in a bottle. 2024 to 2030

In recent years, Michel Lafarge’s reds have become the most sought after in the Cotes de Beaune. He is a committed and studious man who appears to have arrived at a near perfect formula. Of his 8 hectares, only one is of 1er Cru standing, but their fruit combines delicious Pinot flavours with layers of firm mineral character and delicate vanilla from a short-ish oak ageing. There is consistent depth, complexity and perfect balance across the range.
The domaine is now run by Michel’s son Frederic. Frederic has a well earned reputation as a leading biodynamic viticulteur, keeping chickens in the Clos de Chateau des Ducs and reviving some ancient methods.
