  • About the Producer

    Frédéric Lafarge produces some of the most consistently fine wines in the Côte de Beaune. The domaine was one of the first to adopt biodynamic methods, and Frédéric is well known for being at the forefront of viti- and -vinicultural practice, which often means going back to the methods of his ancestors, including destemming bunches for some wines by hand. He uses a basket press for many of the wines, which is far more labour intensive, but in his view gives finer, clearer juice, better acidity and more minerality. He even goes so far as to press the grapes with muscle power alone. His small holding of ten hectares enables him to work with speed and flexibility, vital at a time when the weather can be unpredictable and extreme, allowing him to pick his fruit at the perfect moment of ripeness. He and his wife Chantal have now been joined by their daughter Clothilde.

     

  • About the Latest Vintage

    For Frédéric Lafarge it was a regular year, just that everything happened much earlier than usual – flowering was completed by 21st May, weeks ahead of the norm, and the harvest consequently began earlier, on 22nd August. Like Thomas Bouley, he feels that the vines are adapting to suit the new conditions, more so in his case because of the quick reactions of biodynamically farmed vines. He picked at optimum ripeness, and the wines are so fresh and balanced it’s hard to believe that they come from a hot vintage. The grapes were refrigerated overnight, and the musts treated gently, with a lower fermentation temperature and less punching down than normal.  

    All good news this year. Quantities, while still small, are up on 2019, and the wines are as outstanding as ever. They are a reference point for the superb quality of the vintage.
