The 2009 Bourgogne is a terrific choice for readers who want to explore the style of this historic house without splurging for the more prestigious bottles. The wine seems to float on the palate with superb, refined aromas and flavors, all of which meld together beautifully in the glass.

The 2009 Bourgogne is a terrific choice for readers who want to explore the style of this historic house without splurging for the more prestigious bottles. The wine seems to float on the palate with superb, refined aromas and flavors, all of which meld together beautifully in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. This is a stunning set of wines from Michel Lafarge. The estate farms biodynamically. The wines were left on their gross lees through the malos, which ended in April-May. Lafarge did one racking, in August, 2010, when he moved the wine off their gross lees, leaving just the fine lees. I tasted the 2009s from barrel. Lafarge planned to bottle later in Spring 2011 with no fining or filtration, as is his usual custom.

Light cherry red. Pretty, scented and very juicy, with light structure. Perfect lunch wine? (JR)
