2020 Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Pinot Noir (Pre-arrival)

“(from 40+ year old vines in Petit Pré which was once classified as Volnay villages). This is also wonderfully fresh with its cool and pretty aromas of essence of red pinot fruit, spice and a more subtle suggestion of newly turned earth. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the delicious middle weight flavors that are shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins on the strikingly complex and lengthy finish. Like the Anthologie, it’s rare to find this level of quality in a regional wine plus it should repay 5 to 8 years of keeping. Highly recommended. Drink: 2026+.”
