Along with a few of their neighbors in Volnay, such as Domaine d’Angerville, the Lafarges have had great difficulty meeting the demands of their loyal clients in recent years. During the five vintages from 2012 through 2016, said Frédéric Lafarge, the estate has produced the equivalent of 1.75 harvests, and yields were down 70% in 2016. Although Lafarge described 2016 as a complicated year, noting that “we’ve never before seen a frost that went as high up in the premier crus,” he finds the wines to be “joyous, with pure fruit and mineral tension, great charm and depth, and very subtle, enrobed tannins.” He added that the wines are well-balanced and that he doesn’t see any obvious differences between those made from a tiny crop level of 10 hectoliters per hectare and those made from 25.
The '16s had been racked in August but were still on their fine lees in barrel in January, with the bottling scheduled for April.
