Michel Lafarge 1993 Volnay Clos des Chenes

[David Lole]

Mature red colour lightening to a rose' brown in the edge. Ripe plum, red cherry bouquet enhanced by wet earth, truffles, pinot sap with savoury oak hovering in the background. Some aged hung game characters followed later. Beautiful silky palate loaded with pristine plum, sap and cherry fruit, bright acidity and perfectly integrated fine tannins. Of medium weight, great length, this Excellent Burgundy oozes class and reinforces my opinion of Lafarge as one of the top producers in Volnay as well as the ageworthiness of this vintage. Approaching its peak drinking window, I'm sure this wine will drink well for many years to come.
