The score for 2002 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay Clos des Chenes Premier Cru is 94 from Burghound, Allen Meadows and the tasting note - This is virtually always Lafarge's best wine and it is again in 2002 with incredibly rich, powerful and complex flavors introduced by classy, pure and ripe aromas of dark pinot fruit notes and obvious earth nuances. There are buckets of pinot sap that coat and stain the palate and all but completely hide the ample but quite fine structure. A great Lafarge Clos des Chênes that should age for two decades and like the '03, it is well worth a special search. Additional scores for the wine in this lot - BurgHound.com 94 points , Vinous 92 points , CellarTracker 92 points .
