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 particularly renowned for its Volnay or Beaune Pinot Noirs, notably the famous "Clos des Chênes," a remarkable Premier Cru vineyard in the village. For all wines, approximately five percent new oak barrels are used in the maturation process, and the wines are only lightly fined and rarely filtered before bottling.

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