Étienne, married to Marielle Bize from Savigny, has been through a number of incarnations as winemaker here. When he took over, his father’s style was for gentle, graceful wines which perhaps were a little weak in the lesser vintages. Since then Étienne has found his own voice and made a range of increasingly fine wines. The drive to reduce yields and fine-tune his work in the vineyards and cellar since the mid-2000s continues to enhance quality. The succession to the next generation is now well underway, with Mathilde and Hubert increasingly influential, under their father’s experienced and wise guidance. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Here the decision was to wait for a bit of rain, to get the skins and berries fully ripe.

There is nothing modern in their winemaking, though the meticulous care of their biodynamically farmed vineyards puts the domaine at the forefront of viticultural practices. When they are working on a patch of vines they are usually accompanied by their hens who eat up any lurking pests. The grapes are de-stemmed, vinified traditionally and very little new oak is used in the cellar. In 2014, they purchased vineyards in the Beaujolais which are farmed using the same biodynamic practices as employed in the Côte de Beaune.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Frédéric was keen to highlight the solidarity shown between vignerons at the end of April, as they mobilised to put in place measures to prevent a repeat of the frosts of 2016. Burning dampened straw bales at strategic locations, they succeeded in creating cloud cover which saved the vast majority of the vineyards. He also stressed the importance of “fractional harvesting” – waiting until each parcel is fully ripe before picking – and feels that the domaine’s biodynamic practices allow the grapes to achieve even ripening and balance, a real boon in early vintages such as 2017. For those with long memories, 90-year-old Michel compares 2017 to 1947 and 1964.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Berry Brothers \u0026 Rudd USA - Prod","offers":[{"title":"1 X 750ML","offer_id":46566727811221,"sku":"20170600750001040001","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/3807\/6821\/files\/20131040001_Domaine-Michel-Lafarge_Volnay-Vendanges-Selectionees-Domaine-Michel-Lafarge_2013_01_acba9dab-98c5-4293-9413-a4b45c336911.jpg?v=1762966654"},{"product_id":"2017-chambolle-musigny-jacques-frederic-mugnier-burgundy","title":"2017 Chambolle-Musigny, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, Burgundy","description":"Pure pink purple, a slightly riper nose than I remembered with a light reduction in the background.
