$15.60The Story
From a coplantion plot of Pinot Noir and Gamay (50/50), L'Exception has a lovely bouquet with cassis, wild strawberry fruit and hints of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy citrus notes, tart cherries, blueberry and a touch of pain d'Ă©pice on the finish.
Lafarge’s home territory is Volnay, though he also has holdings in nearby Beaune and Meursault. This is an old estate that started bottling their wines in the early 1900s. Only a handful of other growers have that kind of history.
The wines of Lafarge are magical. Despite being made in a decidedly old-school style — really no different than a generation or two ago — they display incredible purity and not a hint of rusticity.
