Domaine Michel Lafarge 2006 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
Tannic and structured, chunky in style and texture. There are smoky flavors, acidity, berry fruits and black cherries as well as richness. There is a certain severity here, the wine passing through a firm stage before developing further complexity. Age for another six years.

Domaine Michel Lafarge 2007 Clos des Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
A delectable, perfumed wine, with sweet and intense fruit flavors and a soft, velvet character. Soft Pinot Noir, full of black fruits, plums and red cherries. Needs medium-term aging, perhaps four years.

Domaine Michel Lafarge 2004 Clos de Chênes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)
Structured and still fresh, an enticing wine that dances with its acidity and crisp tannins. At the same time, the texture is relatively closed, promising some more aging.
