A collector since university, more than 30 years ago, this consignor was on his school’s wine tasting team in England and was fortunate to have access to the university’s cellars to taste and learn about fine wines. He developed an appreciation for age worthy wines and began to purchase and carefully store them. Later in life he became friends with winemakers in the old and new world regions and was able to purchase highly allocated wines through them. He also buys wine from agents and the LCBO and occasionally from auction and all bottles go directly to storage at Iron Gate.
Producer Notes for 1992 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay Vendanges Selectionnees - Domaine Michel Lafarge is a producer of Burgundy wines located in Volnay, on the Côte de Beaune. The domaine was established in the 18th 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 winery. Today Michel Lafarge's son, Frédéric produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyard-owned land in Volnay.
Domaine Michel Lafarge is best recognized for its Pinot Noir from Clos des Chênes, a notable Premier Cru vineyard in the village of Volnay. For all wines, around five percent new oak is used in the maturation process and 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.
Often compared to the muscley Pinot Noirs of its neighbor Pommard, Volnay produces smooth-structured, perfumed wines of surprising longevity – the archetypal "iron fist in a velvet glove".
