2018  1er Cru Blagny Sous le Dos d'Ane

1er Cru Blagny Sous le Dos d'Ane ---- "The 2018 Meursault-Blagny Sous Le Dos d'Ane 1er Cru has a feistier bouquet than the Clos des Mouches Blanc. Quite energetic and tensile, with lovely purity, yellow fruit and hints of peppermint that come through alongside wild fennel. There is a "noble reduction" at play here. The palate is well balanced with a pleasing sappiness on the entry. Fine weight, harmonious with impressive acidity, I admire its gentle build. Definitely worth seeking out. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting." - 93pts Vinous

2023  Chassagne-Montrachet

2021  

"A pungent nose is comprised by wood toast and firm reduction. Much more interesting are the impressively dense and sappy larger-bodied flavors that possess both excellent power and volume, all wrapped in a beautifully long and balanced finale. Like several wines in the range, this is on the oaky side but the mid-palate density appears to be present for it to be successfully integrated with time in bottle. Lovely potential." - Outstanding, Burghound

Les Blanchots Dessous

2022  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er En Cailleret

From a 0.65 hectare parcel near the top of the slope south of the village, of which the upper part is the steepest vineyard in Chassagne. Vines planted 1985-1990. Aged 15 months in 228 and 350 L oak barrels, 35% new. ---- "A mild suggestion of the exotic can be found on the aromas of white peach, wet stone, honeysuckle and a hint of spice. There is better underlying tension to the more detailed and markedly more mineral-driven flavors that are quite sleek before culminating in a sneaky long, balanced and dry-in-the-best sense finale. Lovely and one to consider." - Outstanding, Burghound ---- "A faint lime green touch in the colour. The bouquet has a chiselled mineral quality, along with a touch of positive reduction as well. Strict on the limestone with an excellent intensity without any heaviness, perfectly judged. Delicately ripe finish. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2023." - 4/5 stars, Jasper Morris MW

2023  Chassagne-Montrachet 1er En Cailleret

2019  1er Chassagne-Montrachet

1er Chassagne-Montrachet - "The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet En Cailleret 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with grilled walnut and light smoky scents hovering in the background. The palate has a creamy opening: vanilla, chestnut and touches of white chocolate, but discrete segueing into a delightful, spicy finish. This is drinking beautifully now, even if it needs a few more months to subsume the oak, but it will keep for another decade." - Vinous & Outstanding, Burghound

2010  Beaune 1er Rouge

"Strong reduction knocks down the nose but there is excellent volume and phenolic maturity to the supporting structure shaping the suave and mouth coating flavors that are perhaps the richest of any of these Beaune 1ers. The volume and energy are impressive as is the length and this should age for many years." - 90-92/Outstanding Burghound

2021  Gevrey-Chambertin

2022  

(Last year of the 100+ year old plot on its own - young vines will be incorporated next year.)"A perfumed and broad-ranging nose features notes of plum, dark cherry, exotic tea and a whiff of crushed fennel. The succulent, even suave, but impressively punchy larger-bodied flavors display first-rate power and drive on the stony, balanced and very clearly built-to-age finale. This is always one of my favorite wines chez Lafarge as it often seems underappreciated relative to the Volnay 1ers that routinely receive top billing. If you have the patience, this is potentially sensational.' - Sweet Spot Outstanding, Burghound
