LAFARGE MICHEL

Domaine Michel Lafarge was created in the 19th century, in Volnay, Burgundy. It is the fruit of a unique family heritage on the Côte de Beaune. Since 1978, Frédéric Lafarge has been managing the estate of his father, Michel Lafarge. It is one of Volnay's most renowned estates, especially since 1997, when the vineyard made the transition to biodynamic viticulture. The entire vineyard was then converted to organic farming in 2000.
