Barrel Tasting at Domaine Lafarge (Volnay): Another step up as we get into the 1er Volnays. Concentrated red cherry is ripe and rich yet pure and bright. Lots of well contained power here. First wine where the tannins make themselves known in the firm finish. Showing more structure than my last barrel sample 9 months ago. Give this 10-15+ years. 92+

Burgundy, Day 1 (Beaune, France): Barrel sample. Black cherry and a relatively sweeter fruit profile on the palate. The fruit shows a little more on the black side, with a firm tannic structure on the finish. Nonetheless, relatively speaking, this is probably the easiest drinking one of the 1er crus right now.

Barrel Tasting at Domaine Lafarge (Volnay): Nose is full of florals and pure red cherry. Rich and round red fruit. Lively and energetic. This is elegant now and should drink young while also holding. 92+

Visite au domaine Lafarge (mars 2020) (Au domaine): Un nez très parfumé, effluves de fleurs mauves, fruité. Un vin minéral et salin, élégant, franchement magnifique. 93-94 pts
