Domaine Lafarge was established by Michel’s great-great-grandparents early in the 19th century, erected over cellars in Volnay that housed collectibles of the Dukes of Burgundy. Decades into a cult status with 'Burghounds', the Lafarge family's commitment to organic farming and biodynamic practices has also cemented their position as stewards if site and tradition.

Critic Reviews
Jasper Morris
93 Points
93 Points, Jasper Morris, InsideBurgundy: "Lost half the crop to frost. Palish pink purple with a gentle refined Volnay nose. This has a softer, riper more generous feel with some dark fruit notes. Acidity more than tannin, middleweight and length." 10/17
Decanter
93 Points
93 Points, William Kelley, Decanter: "The Mitans is lovely this year, opening in the glass with a pretty bouquet of cherry, raspberry, subtle coffee, game bird and a top note of peony. The wine is classy and deep, with a rich chassis of velvety tannins and a deep core of bright fruit. The finish is long and incipiently complex." 10/17
Burghound
90-93 Points
90-93 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound.com: "An admirably pure nose speaks of essence of red currant, raspberry, cherry, spice and a whiff of orange peel. The sleek and intense medium weight flavors possess a lacy mouth feel while exhibiting really lovely delineation on the subtly mineral-inflected finish. This isn't the most complex wine in the range but for sheer refinement and grace, it's the best here plus it should age effortlessly. (Drink starting 2026)" 04/18
