DOMAINE MICHEL LAFARGE

Domaine Michel Lafarge was founded in the 19th century by Michel Lafarge's great-great-grandparents and remains family-owned.

In 1995, Michel Lafarge was among the first in Burgundy to experiment with biodynamic viticulture and is known for his minimal intervention techniques in the vineyard and cellar.

The Domaine is best known for its Volnay or Beaune Pinot Noirs, especially the famous "Clos des Chênes," a remarkable Premier Cru vineyard in the village. For all wines, about five percent new oak is used in the maturation process, and the wines are only lightly fined and rarely filtered before bottling.

Michel Lafarge passed away in 2020. The domaine is now co-managed by Frédéric Lafarge with his wife Chantal and their daughter Clothilde.
