The Volnay Clos des Chênes Michel Lafarge 2008 is a Premier Cru red Burgundy that exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship of the Lafarge family, who have been cultivating wines in the Volnay region since the 19th century. This vintage is noted for its high acidity and lean fruit characteristics, a result of cooler growing conditions. The wine features red berry fruit, including sour cherry, alongside earthy elements of forest floor and minerality typical of the Clos des Chênes terroir. The palate is structured with firm tannins and lively acidity, indicative of its potential for evolution.

The 2008 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru is a vintage where Frédéric Lafarge mentioned there were many decisions to take during the season. It has quite an austere, Pommard-like bouquet, well defined and fresh, but undeniably just a little earthy (damp earth) and rustic. The palate is well balanced with ample depth, slightly minty on the entry, fresh with a linear, quite masculine finish. But this has evolved very nicely over the last 13 years, and whilst not the best vintage, it is à point and delicious.
