tasted at the domaine; powerful nose with deeply pitched plum, cassis, black raspberry, violet, and minerality; bigger and more explosive than the village; the palate is powerful and dense with lots of tannins, but so much extract that they glide along; long finish. A long term cellar player for sure.

La Paulee 2023 - Grand Tasting (New York): Brief impressions at La Paulee. This was the standout Lafarge wine and was the most approachable at this stage. Very giving and complex with dark red fruit and some iron. 93

2023 La Paulee Grand Tasting of 2020 Burgundy (Pier 60, New York): Dull red color. Ripe cherry and a bit of green on the nose. Medium weight. Saline. Excellent amplitude and depth of tart cherry fruit. Outstanding acidity. Tannic grip with endless soil on the finish. Approachable but this is one for the ages. Not only was this one of my favorite wines today, but it must be the most terroir-driven wine I tasted. The savory, earthy style of Lafarge worked beautifully with the incredible fruit that this vintage provided.
